I've Been Thinking:

What would you think if you were Law Enforcement in Michigan and found 3 young men from Texas of Arab descent with over a 1000 cell phones in their van?

Michigan police think that these 3 Arabs are a terror risk.
Ohio police arrested 2 young men of Arab descent just days earlier after discovering that they had over 700 cell phones.

Ohio has charged the men with felonies - including money laundering in support of terrorism and soliciting or providing support for acts of terrorism and misdemeanor falsification.
Michigan police believe that their young men were intending to blow up a bridge in the area.

What's the link between cell phones and terror? Why the panic?
The young men all claim that they are going to resell the phones for profit.
But Authorities believe that the phone chips are tools of terror.
Authorities believe these phone chips were intended for use as detonators for bombs and other nefarious acts.
Also the type of cell phone they found, the Trac fones, are untraceable and often used by terrorists.

There is little doubt that there are some very dangerous people out there.
These people are resourceful and we need to be vigilant.
We need to stop potential terrorists before they become perpetrators of terror.
