Read this and then watch the video clip.
If you get asked to test your cell ph! one at the airport, this is the
reason. Because cell phone guns have been discovered. The attached
video clip shows how cell phone guns operate. These phones are not in the
U.S. yet, but they are in use overseas. Beneath the digital phone face
is a .22 caliber handgun capable of firing four rounds in rapid
succession using the standard telephone keypad. European law enforcement
officials are stunned by the discovery of these deadly decoys. They say
phone guns are changing the rules of engagement in Europe . "We find it
very alarming," says Wolf! gang Dicke of the German Police Union . "It
means police will have to draw their weapons whenever a person being
checked reaches for their cell phone."
Although cell phone guns have not reached the U.S. yet, the FBI, Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Customs Service say they
have been briefed on the new weapons. All U.S. ports of entry have been
alerted. These covert weapons were first discovered in October of 2000
when Dutch police came upon a cache during a drug raid in Amsterdam. In
another recent incident, a Croatian gun dealer was caught attempting to
smuggle a shipment through ! Slovenia into Western Europe. Police say both
shipments are believed to have originated in Yugoslavia! . Interpol sent
a warning to law enforcement agencies around the world.
"If you didn't know they were guns, you would think they were cell
phones," said Ari Zandbergen, a spokesperson for the Amsterdam police.
"Only when you have one in your hand do you realize that they are heavier
than a regular cell phone."
Be patient if security asks to look at your cell phone or turn it on to
show that it works. They have a good reason!
