Looking for Map of Cell Phone Purchases
self | August 11, 2006 | madison10

Posted on 08/11/2006 3:01:13 PM PDT by madison10

Has any one made a map, or done any tracking, of cities/towns the cell phones are being purchased? or of where the suspects are being picked up?

Thanks.

Look, folks, we may be looking at this the wrong way. Generally, everyone is assuming they want the phones for the electronics, to use them as a detonator.

I guess the question is one of if there is an explosive or toxic chemical (think WMDs) that can be made with the batteries?

Most accounts have them taking the phones apart, and you would think they would keep them intact.

I quit watching him. I was yelling "yes" everytime he would ask "am I wrong here?"

It is all I can do to watch Shep "Hannibal" Smith discuss military tactics. BOR is unwatchable and surprised he even knows about FR.

Not wanting to drag everyones "fundamental aperture" into this:

1) you are right
2) I never said ONLY illegals and terrorists buy prepaid phones, I said the class of people who buy them INCLUDE such people.

Have a great day.

"Fundamental Aperture" ... LOL!

Rather than take away more of our freedoms, the .gov needs to put a halt to immigrating these slime, and DEPORT the ones that are here illegally. Oh yah, and the borders.....

Wouldn't they have to charge all the phones and deploy them with the IEDs in a short period of time to use before the batteries died? It should make for a lot of suspicious activity.

If Homeland Security was smart, they would immediately put a stop to the sale of prepaid cell phones in the U.S. The majority of purchasers are drug dealers, prostitutes and Al Qaeda.

Sounds like you've outlined a good reason to keep selling (tracking) them.

If there was a way to TRACK the phones, I have no problem with anyone buying them.

As long as they are turned on, they are tracked.

Not necessarily. Read some of the other comments about how this is defeated.

Re: Caro, MI buyers...two were in the back opening the phone packages with box cutters throwing the phones in one box, batteries in another and the packaging and phone charger in another container.

Why were they separating the phones that way? Was it the phones they were most interested in, the batteries, or both?

While FBI agents pour into Caro another incident breaks out in Gratiot County. At approximately 11:35am August 11th police were called to the Dollar General Store in Ithaca (Michigan) after a" clerk in Ithaca became suspicious after two men came into the store, and became upset when they were turned down while trying to buy several disposal cell phones.

TV5's Mike Terry spoke with the clerk who called police. She said they were two "Middle Eastern" men and said they've been coming into the store weekly and buying disposable cell phones. She said the same thing was happening at the dollar general store in Alma.

You might think the clerk became suspicious because of what was going on in Caro but when we asked the clerk she said she wasn't even aware of what was going on.

The policy at their store is that they can only sell two cell phones, per person, per day. She saw the men put the phones in the trunk of the car and when she thought they were coming back in, she called 9-1-1.

We did talk to Ithaca police while there has been no crime committed-they do want to find these men, and run their names against government watch lists. WNEM

Adding Ithaca and Alma, Michigan

I don't know how my generation survived without cell phones. sheesh! My kids never had them growing up and I still don't own one. When does the nation's security trump personal convenience? NOW, in my honest opinion. This isn't about "freedom", it's about national security and dare I say, commonsense. Why would someone whine about not being able to buy an untraceable cell phone because it's cheaper when we have terrorists wishing to use those same phones to blow up our families? I'd rather my child have a more expensive cell phone plan, or none at all, than be blown to smithereens on some sidewalk in downtown USA.
