Thanks for the link. I had one wild thought. What if these fellas weren’t trying to really mess with the phones but rather prove that our federal buildings are not secure and are easy targets for terrorism. If terrorists had managed to pull off a stunt like that, they could have rigged the phones to explode and we might be looking at a pile of rubble right now.
Apparently, since they were all busted, the building was secure.
Stupid does not do justice as a word to describe this idiotic plot... whatever it was. They only thing they accomplished is that they are going to be doing some hard time in Federal Prison. Maybe they can report on the security vulnerabilities of the Federal Prison system.
