You need to ask yourself a couple of questions.

First, why does the guy have a couple hundred pre-paid cell phones in his car? Do you do that?

Second, why would the local cops decide to call in the FBI?

I suspect that there's a lot more to the story than is being reported here. One is left to wonder whether you've really thought through the potential implications.

I don't do that, but then again it's noone's goshdang busines what the hell I do. Since when is making a friggin phone call illegal?

Maybe swarthy looking guys with foreign accents, huh?

'Course not. I barely use the one cell phone that I do have (and it's not pre-paid). But that's not the point...

Maybe there is a lot more to this story, and if so, fine. But based solely upon what was written in the article -- someone purchasing large quantities of a legal product -- I see no justification for an FBI investigation.

I could be wrong, of course. But with all the nanny-staters out there (even in Conservative circles), somone has to sit on the other side of the fence on occasion.
