Timers don’t need activation ... this is the one invention muslims can legitimately be credited with.

Pretty likely Trump will go wild on this...The question is: Will Cruz get on the bandwagon or pretend the muzlim threat doesn’t exist...Still a bad idea to shut the borders to muzlims???

Don’t know about the blister pack TracFones but purchased boxed phones have:

scan for activation code
MEID hex and decimal codes
ICC ID six groups of three digits plus two digits.

Phone number is provided by carrier at time of location, not by mfr.

So yeah, they can be tracked by store location by seller inventory/sales controls. Carrier could verify activation/non activation and assigned tel. number.

Well, let’s hope you are right, but then the missing propane tanks must also be part of the drug trade. We all know that no jihadi would ever think of putting the two together to make a barrel bomb ... certainly not a Syrian refugee ...

Exactly. This has been going on for a long time and undoubtedly the vast majority of such purchases are for resale.

Of course somebody somewhere is eventually going to use some for bombs, but they could do that if they purchased them one at a time.

Not much can be done.

A car with a full gas tank, a propane cylinder and a cell phone detonator is a bomb on wheels and can go anywhere completely unnoticed until it’s detonated.

Surrey, I agree - the more things happen, the more voters Trump has - and the more ammo to talk about. Even our very liberal Jewish secular friend is beginning to sound like a FReeper.

Are they monitoring sales of gas masks? ...ear plugs?.....latex gloves?.......safety glasses? That sort of thing? Were the propane tanks full or empties? The Boston bombers used a cellphone to trigger their pressure-cooker, if I am not mistaken.

I don’t think buying huge numbers of cell phones at Wal Mart has been going on that long, and definitely not going on legitimately or unquestioningly. Didn’t they change the policy a few years back to a limit of 2 in one purchase ? Before that it was 3 or 4.

That may be true but apparently these purchases haven’t been commonplace there or there would be nothing to report.

What's considered "common place" and how do you know such bulk purchases haven't been occurring prior to this latest incident in California?

Sorry, but knowing the business practices of local Chaldean and Lebanese convenience store and gas station owners, I'm not jumping to conclusions.............

The mass cellphone reports were from individuals - no monitoring or that of any other commodity. Doubt if the jihadis would have any use for the items you mentioned. Safety is last on their list.

Tanks were full - is report on FR somewhere today or yesterday I think.

If barrel bombs, look for compressed air equipment to go missing.

my local Marathon owner, a Chaldean, buys all his products for resale from the local Costco

Of course they do and if you talk to the guy about muslims, you will find they are pretty much in opposition to that religion.......to say the least....LOL!

They need the phones to stay in touch with each other when they’re out in the woods hunting deer with their new AR15s. What else would they use the phones and guns for? /s

There were a lot of reports of Muslims buying cell phones in 2006 or 2008. Google it.
Story was they were reselling them, but arrests were made sorting it all out.
