Without those devices, they would still be looking for the suspects, who would have carried out more bombings by now.

For the non-satire version ... Bing (not google) ‘boston: death sentence for looking out window’ ...

“unauthorized use of these devices”

Pardon???? GFY DHS.

[NEMDF]

Seemingly they should ban races, pressure cookers, sidewalks, and Islamic jihadists, as well.

(I know it is satire.)

Damn near had me this time....

Ha got me for a moment - didn’t read who posted it.

[Resolute Conservative]

They are actually debating a law in Texas today to penalize police if they try and stop someone from recording them.

Can you imagine the outcry from the MSM if police told them to stop filming something.

[STD]

BS, they tried to deliver at least two different sets of suspects before they were forced to implicate the moslems.

They are pissed, because they were forced to hang it on the actual perps. Look for Janet to seek a ban on public recording DHS Stormtroopers and police officials from AJ Holder.

when Big Sis finds out what a cell phone is ,she’ll ban them altogether or just a shoot on site order

[Buckeye McFrog]

...when they pry my Instamatic from my cold, dead hand...

[miserare]

They’re kidding, right?

A thousand citizen cameras is better than one Homeland Security Division in public situations like the Boston Marathon.

[momtothree]

Dangit, John.. I was all fired up and ready to go! Excellent!

[TBP]

How dare you monitor the government?

[citizen]

Secretary Janet Napolitano says DHS is “looking into the inherent threat posed by unauthorized use of these devices, especially in heavily trafficked public places. Law enforcement personnel at every level need to be on alert for people deploying these devices.”

I realize this is satire but we really shouldn't be giving the old girl (allegedly) any ideas!

[Missouri gal]

In all seriousness, the regime is probably hopping mad about having the pajamhadeen photos of al Harbi and his pals standing right next to the 2 Chechens. It really interferes with their “Lone Wolf” meme, and we wouldn't want to jeopardize the regime's pseudo-investigation.

I immediately thought of this:

DHS and other federal agents DO NOT want to be photographed, especially if what they are doing is not particularly authorized by the constitution, and in fact, is distinctly prohibited by the constitution.

This is not because such incriminating photographs, even of them committing blatant criminal acts, will ever result in them being prosecuted for those acts, especially with the current regime clinging to power; but it will be an unpleasant “public relations” gaffe that will make the official White House propagandist uncomfortable while denying it ever took place, and accusing those who mentioned it of being anti-American, in some bizarro world sort of way.

And, if you even think of ascribing *any* legitimacy to this at all, let me remind you that the *first* thing that is done in such terrorist attacks, as was done in Boston, is to shut down the cell phone towers in the area. So detonating any further bombs with cell phones is not a real problem.

What is, is using those cell phones other feature: photography. Which is *specifically* what they want to discourage.
