Just checking my trusty yahoo mail and noticed it - havent been keeping up today
They said the cellphonesmight have been used to command detonate the "explosives" - maybe they thought they needed 999 backup phones

Put these together and what do you get?
Texas Cops.
2 'Arab' looking blokes buying 80 cell phones at Walmart (does a Walmart store stock that many?)
ID them, dodgy Arab names.
Put 2 and 2 together and save the world from Al Queda

They bought 5,000 and were looking to sell them for $5 each profit.

Sounds fishy, is there such a market?

$25 grand profit, not too shabby, it's a land of opportunity surely?

Of course every self-respecting terrorist needs 1,000 detonators to do a job. What the hell were the cops thinking?
