Dude, you're having a hard time following this aren't you? I'm the one who sees several men purchasing cell phones as nothing out of the ordinary. It's others here who see several men purchasing cell phones and think they are buying IED triggers and rush off to call the FBI!
I am NOT a DUDE and you're the silly poster who continues to say that the FBI tosses tips of this sort into the trash and you are dead wrong.
Get real!
"It's others here who see several men purchasing cell phones and think they are buying IED triggers and rush off to call the FBI!"
If the object of terrorists is to provoke terror, these folks who are panicing over something that past history says is benign are actually fostering terrorism, are they not ?
But wait ! THAT'S the plan, buy up hundreds of phones at different times around the country, and ship them overseas to make a buck ... then... when the time is right, buy the 6 you need for your nefarious plan and noone will notice !
