Here's a new cell phone trick:
From an email from my wife. Now, I don't take her as gullible and she does work with Homeland Security regularly, but nevertheless, take it on the surface...
"Cell phone gun
Read this and then watch the video clip!
Most see airport security as a pain. Some deal better than others. Some feel violated, when you watch this movie, you'll understand why they want your cell phone through the x-ray machine.
If you get asked to test your cell phone at the airport, this is the reason. Because cell phone guns have arrived. They are real. The attached video clip shows how cell phone guns operate. These phones have not been found 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. 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! "
Z-man, too freakin' funny!!!
Edit: Here's a link to a vid of the gun. Sorry, I don't know how to put link the to .mpg file here directly.
