Cell Phone Terror

 Hey everyone, I had this though the other day, and I figure that as a group of techies, it might be something interesting.
 I am in Italy now, and EVERYONE here has a cell phone. Now these have been getting on my nerves as I sit eating my dinner, or looking at artwork in a quiet corner and someones loud, obnoxious cell phone rings, causing them to jump up and run outside for better reception, where they stand on the street talking. I've seen people on their cell phones on bikes, in museums and basically everywhere.
 I am under the impression that cell phones are a semi secure form of communication, in that your conversation goes from the phone, to the sattellite, through the system, and out to another phone. To keep all the various phone signals from getting mixed up, each phone has a special, individual signal that it sends as part of it's data stream, to keep it from getting mixed up with another transmission. Is this right?
 On the assumption that it is, my theory is that cell phones are the ultimate tracking device, in that when someone buys a cell phone, a special sequence is assigned to them which will isolate their transmissions. This sequence is recorded with their vital information in the phone companies records, right? Now each time that signal goes out, it means that person is using their phone, right? So it would feasibly be possible for the government to subpoena that record, and identify every cell phone owning individual in the world, in the name of national security, right?
 With that record, they now have the ability to pinpoint, within an inch, the location of the brain of every cell phone owner in the world!
 We already know that cell phones cause brain cancer because of their frequency emmissions, so wouldn't it be pretty easy to send a few extremely high frequency pulses to someones phone while they were using it? Strong enough pulses to quite literaly fry their brains?
 Please, someone tell me why this isn't true, and that none of what I just described could possibly happen. It would make my life a lot better. Please??!
