I understand about wanting to be safe but I think this guy has gone past the fence. Everything this guy talks about can be done exactly the same using another device. i.e. he doesn't want alarm clock functions on the phones because it can be used to set off a bomb after some amount of time. In that case I would rather go to RadioShack and buy an alarm clock that runs off batteries. It would be cheaper and I wouldn't have to sign my name to paper saying that I was using that particular clock. And to be able to set off a bomb by calling a number could also be done by a pager. If we want to start using this logic we should ban baseball because people are killed with baseball bats every year. And while we are banning stuff just get rid of backpacks since they are used to carry the bomb to the site of the explosion. As long as we want any kind of "convenience" in our life we are going to have to deal with people using that "convenience" the wrong way. Also during this interview at the bottom of the screen MSNBC keeps flashing "Cell phone batteries used to cause explosion". This is completely inaccurate. The batteries have been known to explode when they are mistreated, such as being shorted out or charging them for an extended period of time. If you wait for this to cause the reaction then the bomb is completely unreliable. This stuff frustrates me to no end.
"One, we have to change the batteries in the cell phones to something a lot more stable such as lithium iron phosphate instead of lithium iron cobalt. Secondly, we have to make them tamper proof so that you can't open them up with simply a screwdriver or just by removing the plastic. And third, we have to make sure there's no alarm clock function on these phones.
If you ask me, I'd rather have no alarm clock function and be completely safe and sound then using my cell phone."
Yeah a cell phone that won't come apart WE CAN GLUE IT! THE TERRORISTS WILL NEVER FIGURE IT OUT!
The IDF told the U.S. what we were doing wrong on the subject of locating terrorist and our people will not listen to them. Why??, It is because of liberal political correctness.
The IDF said that we will never stop a terrorist attack in the U.S. because "You Americans look for weapons and NOT the TERRORIST."
But you know it's proper to strip search a WASP grandmother instead of a 16 to 45 year old middle eastern person, cause that would be profiling.
