I don't know if the title of this bill is an accurate one. This seems incredible hard to enforce, as mentioned before few people check to see if the hardware and software match. Furthermore I think a court would have a hard time proving that the person who has the phone is the one who altered it. One other thing to add, with the increasing number of phones wihtout removable batteries, it makes it even more difficult to check the hardware to verify matching nubmers. A nobel effort by Mr. Schumer, but I think it falls short when it comes to the matters mentioned above.
