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.
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.
This is what the US has become? Wanting to ban something because it 'can be'? What a joke.
See post 189
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.
All right! Thanks!
What I'd like to know is whether there are incidents where people are buying the other parts of explosive devices.
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.
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.
...."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.
