MACON, Mo. (KFVS/AP) - A north-central Missouri sheriff's office says prepaid, disposable cell phones that were purchased in bulk aren't thought to be connected to "violent criminal activity."
Large quantities of cell phones were recently sold at Walmart stores in Jackson, Cape Girardeau, Columbia, Macon, Jefferson City, and Lebanon.
Those purchases set off some alarms because investigators say they are potential tools in the hands of terrorists. The devices can be used to communicate and they are difficult to trace if they are prepaid phones. They can also be used as detonators for bombs.

Ah, yes....but who do they resell them to? That might be of some interest.
And the big pile of explosives found nearby a few months ago must have been the Amish.
I thought they spoke arabic or something.
Don’t the Jihadi’s know they can sign up with a fake name for an Obama phone..... AND IT’S FREE!!!!
If a Terrorist attack occurs and involves the usage of an Obama phone would the left call for and end to Obama phones?
Nah...
in other words, they don't have a clue...
“The FBI encourages anyone who see anything suspicious to contact local police.”
And then Lynch can prosecute the tipster
[ And the big pile of explosives found nearby a few months ago must have been the Amish. ]
The Amish were trying to clear the stump of the keebler elves old tree factory. Hence the need for enough explosives to take out a city block.
Oh shut up! We should all buy phones the “HOMELAND” fascists can’t track.
I am not afraid of radical Muslims. I AM afraid of the DHS and every other agency of our police state.
I”m sorry, how does one make money in a cell phone trafficking ring? I mean, are they sold to people in prison? Because it seems to me that everyone from Grandma to a 9 year olds have cell phones and I don’t think they are buying them in alleys.

And, then the fake clockmaker kid can sue for $15 million
Kramer and Newman tried a scam like this. Nothing to see here.
Don’t you think that the entire “Amish” thing has passed it’s sell-by date?
It was funny at first——it’s just an insult to harmless people now.
.
Why don’t I buy this???
As long as the authorities know ho is buying them, then we can track them.

Several years ago, muzzies were buying TracPhons by the hundreds and sending them to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq to be used as detonators for IEDs.
One group of muzzies were busted in OH with hundreds of phones in their van. Some were to be sent overseas, IIRC, and they said they had plans to use some of them to blow up a bridge somewhere along the US/Canadian border.
Once it was discovered these purchases were being made across the country, a limit was put on the number of phones a person could buy. It sounds like that’s been relaxed. These phones are probably being sent to ISIS nowadays.
The new term is “neighbors”. It’s non descriptive, but we have all had them. Some great, some indifferent, some not so nice. Howdy neighbor! See what I did there?
either way they don't have a clue.
