RE: 3 Arrested on Terrorism Charges in Mic h. for buyingprepaid cellphones

[Kevin McAleavey <kevinmca () nsclean com>]

 What's particularly humorous about this is that those "throwaways" generally have serial numbers that are easy to 
"echelon" without difficulty since those are the most likely phones to be used for any sort of "criminal enterprise" 
and desireable because of the "no billing address" nature of the sale of "prepaid phones." If these clowns actually ARE 
terrorists, they're dumbasses.
