there is no ready-made filter.  But then, there isn't much privacy
related detail apart from
 * reading EF.ICCID
 * reading EF.IMSI
 * writing EF.Kc / EF.KcGPRS
 * writing EF.LOCI (location area code)
 * writing the TMSI 

it shouldn't be too hard to filter those messages manually when looking
at the trace.
