This paragraph is 100% wrong...There is no speculation...It's a known fact that cell phones are used to detonate IEDs in Iraq...
Terrorist, extremeist and separist groups??? Nonsense...The only groups using the cell phones to blow people up are Arabs...And presumably, they are muzlims...
These terrorists aren't going to make any money reselling wal-mart phones...They going to blow people up with them...
I predict by next year you will have to have valid ID in order to buy a prepaid cellphone or prepaid cellphone time, with the cashier being required to activate the phone for you and take your personal information.
Can't you see it, people? You now have to show valid ID to purchase cold medications which COULD be used to make meth. Eventually, you will have to have valid ID for ALL purchases. By requiring valid ID for cold medications, they are slowly, gradually conditioning us into a future where you will have to have valid ID to buy ANYTHING. Sounds like the first steps to conditioning the people to accept the mark of the beast.
I'll bet you anything these people are buying them to be used as detonators in some future war with the infidel , right here at home. If we let them get away with this , right under our noses , we are the ones that are insane. Stop it tomorrow.
1 phone per customer limit .
The Federal Government should require these cellular telephone providers to provide the name of anyone who purchases more than three telephones.They should also be required to provide the electronic serial number so these phones can be tracked to determine when they"re being used.
Some civil rights types will not like it but you have No civil rights when your dead.
If the feds do not protect us, we have the Constitutional authority to protect ourselves.
The Second Amendment guarantees our rights to protect families and ourselves from tyrants - foreign or domenstic - and from our enmies who would kill us at their first chance.
Be sure to keep your ammo stored in LARD to keep down corrosion (of course) and let everyone know that you do.
Yougottabekiddingme. The feebs even took out the trash for them??? [expletive deleted]256
Why can't someone dial them up and see what goes boom?
No maybes about it! That law should be on the books right now.
Amazed the reporter actually wrote "Middle Eastern descent" and it got past the editor. One would think to save $5, the customer could stop by the dollar store and pick a phone up himself. If there was this much of a market for cell phones it wouldn't be just this one group. Of course this has nothing to do with use the phone once and throw it away so as not to be detected by Homeland Security. But is is getting curiouser and curiouser.
Verifying ID or more gov't regulation will only hurt lower income folks who need a cell phone but can't get one due to bad or no credit. Let the stores make the decision on who should buy how many phones instead of asking the gubmint to hold people's hands.
I don't care what they do about Sudafed, and allergy meds, and regulations. I do, care, however, about Arabs buying cell phones.
On WRKO talk show Howie Carr heard woman who claimed to work at Ft Devens (old MA military installation) say that lithium ion batteries in large quantities represent some sort of toxic threat. Can anyone confirm this? Recall account of cell phone buyers that were separating phones from batteries. If for resale, why would one separate the batteries?
The article missed the whole point of these purchases. These guys are not primarily using them as detonators. Nor are they buying them for the lithium batteries (they could just buy lithium batteries).
Very simply, they want to make phone calls that are not connected to other phone calls because they consider the fed surveillance program to be effective. If the Feds check on who Ahmed calls after talking to Baki, it would be much harder if Ahmed uses a different phone for each call. Indeed, it would be that much harder to find Ahmed in the first place.
Also, I happen to own a TracFone and I certainly would NOT buy one without a charger, after all, what good is it (or any other cell phone), if you cannot charge it.
Are these LEA brain dead or have they been so PC-whipped that they cannot see the obvious?
Sickening.
That's a great idea. For preemption, the phone company should ping pre-paid phones about once an hour at random intervals just in case they have been connected to bombs. This would substantially increase the risk to bomb-makers.
Is it possible that they may be aware of some future event that will make these phones in great demand?
