Somebody explain this to me. The arrested men say that they were buying the cellphones for resale. How could that work? It makes no sense. Why would someone buy a cellphone at a mark-up price from one of these guys, when you can easily just walk in to your local Walmart and buy one yourself at a lower price? Who are they claiming to market to?

And why are they taking the phones apart if they're going to re-sell them? One report said they were putting the body of the phone in one box, the battery in another.

I am truly trying to understand how anybody can buy that story. Are authorities perhaps just letting them go so they can watch them?

Here's another one...when are they going to wise up? I don't care if they ARE "buying them for resale" (which is a hokey crock of bs), get them for tax evasion, or something...just GET them. This is really getting ridiculous.

Arizona's Counter-Terrorism Information Center has advised Arizona's law enforcement officials that there is a possible increase in suspicious purchases of prepaid cell phones.

Ya think???
Every day for the last week or so, there has been one or two more of these in the news. Can't they take a hint? For every 2 they notice, there are probably 5 that they don't. I wonder if they let them keep the phones after they "question them and let them go"?? This is insane.

Chertoff is sure making a big bet, that this is all harmless.

I hope along with releasing these people, we are following them ALL very closely.

And investigating every aspect of their lives' their addresses, their email, their phone calls, their travels and associations.

Cuz if they are not, and Chertoff bet wrong, no telling the result.

Is the purpose here to to sell these phones to people who do not wish their calls to be traced to a name? (since you do not have to register an identity to Tracphones)

The tip of the iceberg. If we know about this many purchases, there are thousands more. Something is brewing in the minds of islamic fascists.

In France they could be held without charges for three years.

So while purchasing 1000 phones may not be illegal, Huachuca City police say, "It's just enough to make you think it's not right."

Great. Thanks for the tip, Barney Fife.

OK, so we know they like to set off IED's with cell phones. What would be mass simultaneous targets that would require thousands? High schools? how about gas stations?

They should inject them with a personal tracking device, the kind people now use for their pets, and then release them.

Here's an idea which may or may not be already out there. What if the terrorist know there is going to be an attack on, let's say the 22nd, and they are stocking up.
