[edit] strange characters at beginning of article
Originally the article had a link to an image of the Tracfone Company Logo. Apparently someone took out the image link but did not save the edit correctly.
Added a link to allow people to text message a Tracfone http://www.jasonholm.com/tracfone.html Jsholm 13:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)jsholm
There is now a second group arrested on terrorism charges for buying 1000+ phones. I also added one reference on the lawsuit regarding unlocking phones. References for some of the other claims would be nice.
- charges were dropped. they were highly improbable in the first place. The case is becoming more about the pitfals of racial profiling. tracfone is actually the most difficult mobile to use for detonators since if you do not activate the handset with the original sim you can't without a lot of reprogramming -- more than any other brand. in this case the sims and batteries were removed. it is also obviously not useful to have battery removed on a "detonator."
- it is also important to note there was a very big tracfone promotion that week, and that many web dealsites noted the phones were worth in cash double the sales price.
- There is no serious terrorism suspicion case were the FBI and federal authorties would not have taken custody. But the FBI gave the guys a short interview and left. It took a while for the local prosecuter, but he dropped the charges today. IDD55 06:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
