Could you sit in Dearborn Michigan and blow up bombs simultaneously in New York, Chicago and LA with it?????
From the time of activation, or otherwise randomly, telemarketers should be furnished the numbers of the phones. If the phone could be called at any time then bomb makers would be thrown off their timing.
All these precautions go down the tubes however if the bomb makers are willing to perish with their bombs. Then any old cell phone will do: “Hello, Ahmed! Push the button!” “Yes sir, Allah here I come!”
