the busts have been lucky. how many haven't been caught. the companies should disable all of of the pre-paids and require that ID be shown in order to re-activate them. each phone represents a potential bomb detonator. this is a war. i'm sure you'd have no problem showing ID to validate your kids phones.
I think that is a great idea, if it can be done. If they are planning to use these as weapons, it would stop them cold. Our kids can survive a day or 2 without phones.
"each phone represents a potential bomb detonator."
So instead of cell phones, they use garage door openers which aren't being tracked, or keyless entry transmitters? The type used to open your car door? Or how about personal radios? You know. The kind they sell for around $30?
A transmitter is a transmitter and any terrorist that is hell bent on detonation an explosive will find a way.
You can make the argument all you want, but taking away some our freedoms just means terrorism is working.
I prefer them cold and in the ground. Or tiny pieces will do too.
