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.

You said that there have been cases of people useing cells to make bombs that is correct but we are talking about 5-20 cell phones used for bad things in the last year.... that doesnt mean we should get rid of all the cell phones...
I would be willing to bet that there were more bad things done with gas... guns.... matches.... knifes... tnt... or anything else you can think of and no one is talking about them
we do know who we are selling these phones to... I talk to the person just about everyday and i stated that they are being sold to china and hong kong.... Has there been any reports of people from china or hong kong making bombs....
obviously there wasnt a problem with the person they were selling it to if the charges have been dropped
"They lied and said the phones were for a family construction business. "
that was their mistake to tell the police that... the reason they said that is because tracfone doesnt want its phone bought and resold because they dont make any money on the phones then

I talked to a Nashville police department "security and threat" section Lt. today and he told me he received an alert that some ME men had tried to purchase cell phones at a Dollar Store in Memphis area.
The attempted purchase was in Memphis, not Nashville. This puts a light on what their intended target could be, especially knowing the Mackinac Bridge was one of their targets up North.
Blowing up the I-40 bridge would cause disruption in moving goods East and West.........North and South, too, come to think of it, since the Mississippi River would be blocked.
Affecting our economy is one result they hope to achieve, and this would definitely have an effect for a while.
Just my two-cents worth. :-)
This thread has given us a good look at something the LSM has chosen to ignore. At least some of us won't be caught off guard.

The average "poor person" also doesn't buy hundreds of prepaid cell phone.
LOL! Bike week in Sturgis! (Times have changed!)
"The Rally" is always a riot. Love those bikers!
Normally, anyone fits in during bike week. But not the Muzzies. We have so few around here that they really draw attention.......even among the leather thongs, black t-shirts, and tatoos.
tatoo = tattoo
I really do know better.
A lot of people don't have the quality of credit necessary to own and use a cellphone.
Secondly, if one's circle of influence is made up of a majority of Hispanic illegal aliens, a healthy profit could be made reselling them...like disposable cameras.
It is no surprise, with the changes in rider demographics in the last 20 years that tracphone sales would surge, or that nonelectric curling iron sales would increase, either.
A lot of people still camp out in tents.
If you match location with dates, you may find other similar false positives.
Keep in mind that police officers from all over the country will moonlight their vacation at Sturgis as well, and may account for some 'early' tracphone sales as well. Phone network coverage is not as comprehensive in the region as folks from the coasts are used to.
Things changed in '90, imo, and it was just not as much fun as it had been. I still love the area...
Somehow I can't see someone all burkha'd up riding on the back without getting wrapped up in something. I don't think that would work so well...(8^D)
Besides, despite an easygoing and fairly diverse crowd united by the love of riding, I really think the followers of Allah might find themselves unwelcome.
Bikers tend to be an intensely patriotic lot.
........."intensely patriot lot".........
They absolutely are. A couple of years ago, Cher got "booed" off the stage at the Buffalo Chip for slamming the President and the WOT.
It was a beautiful thing.

"Smuggler bust by 'labour pains'"
15/10/2006 19:49 - (SA)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Cairo - An Egyptian woman pretending to suffer from labour pains gave such a poor performance at customs that a quick hand-search revealed her "bundle of joy" to be 48 cellphones, an airport source said."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A customs officer checked her passport and was surprised by the number of stamps it held, showing too much recent travel for a woman "in her condition", the source said."
