Thought this deserved a thread- seems significant in light of all the cell phone news lately.

Thanks for posting it.

Their business model, buying from Walmart, then selling at a profit is not entirely delusional, but if I'm a cop listening to the business model my first question is "why can't your customers go to Walmart themselves? Just exactly who are your customers?"

1000 cell phones? what were the other 999 targets?

Thanks Mom - being a former Michigander (California now)
I thought we had all the "big" targets out here but, I forgot about Mighty Mac!

I grew up in MI and lived in both the UP and lower peninsula. I have been over the Mackinac bridge many times. It would be a prime regional target for terrorism. With these Caro, MI guys with the 1000 cell phones, it just makes me wonder if local cells have now been officially activated. How many cells are planning stuff nationally, that haven't been found out yet.

Do you have any idea what it would take to blow that bridge? Take a look at the stanchions in that pic you posted... You have to fly a 757 into it, and then maybe it would weaken it. Or, you would need a tremendous amount of explosives to bring it down.

I honestly think someone other than the terrorists are suffering from delusions of grandeur here...
