Yeah, the FBI is going to be able to do a lot with that... :)

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -
The FBI is aware of reports of [middle eastern] men [from Michigan] visiting Walmart stores in several cities in Missouri and purchasing or trying to purchase large quantities of cellular telephones. An FBI spokeswoman won't say exactly how much its agents are delving into the purchases. Some of the cities where the purchases and attempted purchases are reported by police and media are Macon, Columbia, Jefferson City, Lebanon, Ava, Jackson and Cape Girardeau.

After an earlier version of this story was posted on Thursday afternoon, the Marshfield police chief called to say that a man who gave a Michigan address made a similar purchase of a 19 prepaid cell phones in his city in October. The chief said that man gave a false tax exempt waiver form to the store and bought the phones without sales taxes.

News release from Ava Police Department:
“On 12-05-2015 at approximately 0623 in the morning, the Ava Police Department received a report of a Middle Eastern male subject who had purchased a large amount of cell phones from Wal-Mart and had left a cell phone in the restroom. Officers responded and secured the phone.
“While speaking with Wal-Mart employees the subject who left the phone returned to the store to get it. Officers spoke with the male subject who was of Middle Eastern decent and asked for identification which was provided. After speaking with the subject, officers did not have any legal reason to detain him, so they allowed him to leave.

Duh your right Junction City lol
Hit a mall or some lone store in a strip mall and this county will be paralyzed.
Worse yet, a school. Yesterday, for the first time ,my grandkids school had an armed guard in the lobby for their Christmas concert.
I was just gonna post that they are buying propane tanks, too. I’m sure it’s just for a cookout for widows and orphans.
Or give it a day or two, then call every one of them and see who goes KaBOOM!
Activation is not all that hard to accomplish, if all they have in mind is detonating by remote signal.
Why couldn’t the store have a limit on the number of phones that one person can purchase for personal use? Stores often have limits on the number of items that can be purchased by one buyer. If there is a need to buy a large number of phones for corporate use, valid corporate papers would have to be supplied.

Don’t know if this could be a target...

A shame El Nino is making it nice enough for these ragheads to run around and do their nasty business (and no, I’m not admitting there is MMGW).
Those laws may be in effect in places, I don’t know. My friend only had 3 on hand. He wanted a certain type. He was upset because he wanted more.
She did report it.
“It appears they want to draw attention to themselves. To test our PC attitude? “
If they’re up to anything it’s definitely bad OPSEC, Rule #1 of which is ‘don’t stand out.’
Yeah, the FBI is going to be able to do a lot with that... :)
Walmart has had a policy of 2 or 3 in the past but I’m not sure there can be prosecutions in this case after getting cleared by the FBI.
Maybe he/she didn’t want to refuse and be pilloried by the Muslim in Chief as an ignorant, hateful Isamophobe.

Friend of mine is in the Air Force.
He told me months ago the air force put their people on notice here in Texas of the possibility of propane car bombs coming up from Mexico.
“I think the one in the middle is hot.”
That’s the tranny.
Read the article. The FBI comments defy truth and logic.
Like, propane bottle thefts are common. NOT.
That same night, a nearby CVS reported the same crime.
Two weeks later, another CVS in Independence was hit, and 28 tanks were stolen from that location.
While many people in the community say they are concerned the cases might be connected to a terror plot, officials say that is likely not the case.
“Certainly, we hear something about gas being stolen we worry about a potential bomb. The good news is this is probably not part of terrorist planning for a number of reasons,†Michael Tabman, a retired FBI agent, told WDAF. “One is they wouldn’t steal these items because they know that would attract law enforcement’s attention. Also this would not be a tool of choice.”
We can’t give them ideas because most of us probably can’t get far enough down in the gutter to even imagine what level of depravity and evil they are capable of so I feel safe in saying this.
Imagine what it would be like if they planted these propane tanks randomly in a passle of houses and then just set them off in random areas in a series of explosions in the deep dark of the morning. How would that be for terror? Tens if not hundreds of houses on fire scattered across a city or town. It would be impossible to fight all the fires. It would overwhelm the system.
What?
