Looking for Map of Cell Phone Purchases

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.

I can't stop thinking about all of the reports of middle eastern men spotted and stopped photographing and videotaping around bridges and dams and power stations and such.

Then, with the threats of August 22nd weighing hevily in people's minds...

The men have been "upset" that they could'nt purchase. If this was just a retail scam (lots of digital photo website pull a similar scam - sell you the camera, charge you more for the battery, strap, etc...which can add up to more than what you would pay elsewhere) you'd think it would be a different distribution of race...white and latinos and middle easterners...

Imagine thousands of explosions going off around the country on the 22nd, while something horrific happens in Isreal...while we're distracted with an all out attack on infrastructure. All they need to do is take down a couple of overpasses and LA is shut down.

Or, it's for a distraction, tied to the foiled plot in London...

Or it's one HELL of a private, untracable network to send out signals to cells everywhere in the country, possible by broadcasting text messages that can be sent to all of them at the same time. To announce when to start civil disturbances, attacks, start bomb triggers...or poison in water supplies...

It could be anything. The hairs on teh back of my neck are twitching reading about these cell purchases. It's too many phones, it smacks of their crafty treachery...use our own indulgent technology to take us down, even purchase it here under our noses to rub it in our faces...

i hope I'm wrong.

What I mean by laws by the way, we have a way of doing things in this nation. We do not believe in vigilante justice. But we need to enforce the laws and probably pass some more. The actions are available on the books. We just have spineless wimps in places of government who won't enforce them.

How many Americans must die from IEDs planted on our own roadsides just so kids can have a cell phone?

LOL! Please tell me how many have died. Do you know something the rest of us don't?

P.S. IEDs in Iraq are not set off by cell phones. They are using IR for most of them.

My father and I saw and reported two men photographing a power station in Southern California. One was taking pictures and the othe was squatting down taking notes. They left the area on foot - no cars near the location where they were.

When we got turned around they were already gone. Police showed up. Took the report. Police office reached out to shake our hands - he made the first gesture to shake our hands, not the other way around. That was surprising to me. I believe we witnessed bad people making plans.

I wonder how many others in America have witnessed something similar. This is truly frightening. But again, we can not let the terrorists win. They want us to live in fear. A little fear is healthy. Terror is not.

But they can be.

Look at the total number of phones. A dozen would be all you'd need if you were using them as remote detonators. And look at how wide the geographic area is.

This is either directly related to communications needs (Note that the first reports of mass purchases were at roughly the time the NYTimes disclosed the NSA monitoring), or they've found a way to hack the system and they're going to make money selling "no fee phones" in the black market.

[killjoy]

But they can be.

This is what the US has become? Wanting to ban something because it 'can be'? What a joke.

Can be used for anything... This is scary...

Lithium deuteride was the fusion fuel of choice in early versions of the hydrogen bomb. When bombarded by neutrons, both 6Li and 7Li produce tritium. Tritium fuses with deuterium in a fusion reaction that is relatively easy to achieve. Although details remain secret, lithium apparently no longer plays a role in modern nuclear weapons, having been replaced entirely for the purpose by elemental tritium, which is lighter and easier to handle than lithium salts.

Lithium is used as a source for alpha particles, or helium nuclei. When 7Li is bombarded by accelerated protons, 8Be is formed, which undergoes spontaneous fission to form two alpha particles. This was the first man-made nuclear reaction, produced by Cockroft and Walton in 1929.

Lithium application in nuclear weapons industry is now strongly pursued in developing countries like India.

What rules are regular cell phones subject to that prepaids are not?

A regular cell phone has a users name attached to it. Prepaids are anonymous.

You mean Shep "Hysterical" Smith?

I swear, if I see that guy hyperventilating while delivering the news one more time, I'll be really tempted to disable FNC. Brit and Cavuto are about the only shows worth watching.

Excellent effort. Great work. Thanks. Very telling.

Created from the places on this thread.

All right! Thanks!

What I would suggest is to have th phone companies ring all the prepay cell phones one a day at some random time. One ring, please one ring only, LOL. It would be cool to blow them up with there own phones.

Definitely something for the feds to consider.

[hocndoc]

What I'd like to know is whether there are incidents where people are buying the other parts of explosive devices.

[Eye of Unk]

I think I read a book from Tom Clancy a couple of years ago about terrorists able to buy hundreds of smoke detectors and taking the miniscule amount of the radioactive isotope out to boost fission upon an Israeli nuclear bomb, there was a movie made but I think that part was left out.


I am still saying in my posts we need to make an extreme stand, we need to do something drastic if not horrific to hold these threats upon the world at bay, myself I think a threat to destroy Mecca might get their attention.

[Gondring]

cuz you look kinda stupid on airplane with a garage door opener & keyless entry transmitter. its too obvious

All you need is the outer shell of any cell phone, and just replace the inside with other electronics, and TSA wouldn't notice.

Methinks it's gonna go toward the "Only Speedos Allowed Onboard" rules.

"Whatever can be used for a weapon should not be allowed to be purchased without a background check..."

Do you have ANY idea what you just said?????

Matches, cigarettes, cotton string, battery acid, ballpoint pens, sumi ink, newspapers, scrap steel, aluminum cans, and on and on and on. The list is literally endless.

...."probably just the Bandidos".......

Of course, now why didn't I think of that. As much as I enjoy the Rally, I'm glad it's nearly over. My ears are tired.
