"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."

I wonder if it would be possible for the police to remotely disable all the tracfones.

Time to change the laws on disposable cell phones so everyone will have to give name, address bank account or credit card number, etc before one gets a service.
Congress should be doing stuff like that instead of passing stupid laws on protecting dogs during hurricanes.

Color me ignorant. What do cell phones have in them as components, which when combined together, assist in creating an explosive?

What about portable computers that have wifi connections? Should those be registered too?

Electricity. I believe they act as the detonator for the explosive itself.
Call your buddy's phone and BLAMMO!

OK, count me as clueless regarding disposable cell phones, but isn't the point that you use them and throw them away? In other words, wouldn't you need to buy them again and again?

Not to create an explosive, but to trigger one.

So they build a cell phone with a hyper electric charge or something? I never understood electricity. I thought it was a magic act.

they are used as detonators for remote-controlled bombs... set the timer (alarm or stop watch feature) on the cellphone or simply dial the cell phone connected to the bomb and boom the bomb goes off.

"What do cell phones have in them as components, which when combined together, assist in creating an explosive?"A timer and a battery, as well as a means of remote detonation (phone call). A cell phone is a very cheap detonator.

But why won't just one do? It seems they need many with which to build a new one that is something rather special.

Given the secrets that the NYT chose to expose, even if only for communication, why wouldn't the terrorists want tons of disposable cell phones?

"I wonder if it would be possible for the police to remotely disable all the tracfones."They might have to regulate them. I suspect this is why NYC had a cell phone outage. I think Homeland Security may have pulled the plug while they figured out if a threat was imminent to NYC.

I never understood electricity. I thought it was a magic act. Sort of is. Ever wonder what is behind that socket in the wall. Don't tell noone - gerbils.
Same in a cell phone, of course. Just smaller.

Somehow I think it would be easier for the terrorists to just go to radioshack and buy the parts to build a timer or remote detonator. It wouldn't be as suspicious because most people probobly wouldn't know what the components were for.

They use the cell phone usually in vibrate mode to initiate the explosion.
The Chechens were really the first to to this.
