Is this TRUE??? Huggy, you have freep mail.
http://jaxn.org/cataBlog.php?articleID=233 Cnn has an article today that talks about how the FBI is saying terrorists could use a cell phone to trigger a bomb. I had that idea a couple of years ago.
Even better than a cell phone would be a pager, or at least that is what I thought about. This shouldn't be a surprise though. Bombs can be triggered by an electrical charge. Hook a bomb up to a cell phone ringer or a pagers bell/vibrate and when you call the number the bomb would go off.
The crux of this though would be that the phone companies keep records on that stuff, so while the bomb would go off they could probably easily track who made the call after the fact. I think this could probably be avoided by using a blackberry pager or something else that could be triggered by an email. The reason this would be better is that it would be much easier to hide the originating source of an email.
Don't get me wrong. I am in no way supporting setting off bombs. The reason that I had thought about this is that I would love to see the statue on I65 of Nathan bedford Forrest (the first grand wizard of the KKK) blown up. I decided that to do so would be wrong and never acted on my thoughts.
What scares me about this is that this is news! Why did the FBI just think of this? Maybe the FBI should spend more time thinking about how to blow things up without getting caught! We might all be a little safer then.
Very true. In fact, I think I have images taken from an Islamic site on the Image section of my site of both a cell and pager detonator. Don't worry - the images are common and prolific on the net, so it's not new. I posted them not as plans, but as being taken from the plans of an Islamic militant.
I got the Freep mail, thanks.
I wonder if cell phones can be set to trigger after a specific number of calls.
