Two arrested in Dearborn

The US is becoming a police state, I tell you.
These poor shmoes were arrested for buying cell phones.

I wonder if this arrest has anything to do with this?

They were buying the phones from Wal-Marts. I don't think they were looking to blow them up.
But hey... these are alleged splodeydopes we're talking about, after all. Maybe they were planning on blowing up the Wal-Marts after they'd cleaned them out of cell phones.

Hey, I'm all for blowing up wal-marts...
It'd help eliminate large portions of the uneducated redneck Republican base.
Every little bit helps.

It'd eliminate a lot more of the Democrat base, though. All those welfare moms who can't afford to shop anywhere else.

Heh.
I think every backwoods gun toting bible-thumping redneck in the country votes GWB.
You wouldnt believe the fat slobs I see at my work. They vote Republican for the sole fact that someone told them that if they voted Democrat they would be gay, because every true man likes a Bush.
Honestly, this is your base. If they didnt have the responsibility of electing the most powerful man in the world, it would be laughable.

I don't know. Honestly, you don't know if they are "poor shmoes" or not. You have to admit buying that many fucking cell phones looks fucking weird, although I have no idea what that has to do with terrorism.
But 600 fucking cell phones? Some kind of a scam is being run.

Where in the hell do you work? Surrounded by fat people, who think they are gay if they dont vote Republican?

I think the cell phones could be used for several purposes. They could dispose of the cellphone after one use to avoid being tracked or they could use them as remote detonators.
As an aside, I'll be passing through Dearborn today.

"Investigators in southeast Ohio said they were working to unravel how two Michigan men charged with supporting terrorism came to have airplane passenger lists and airport security information."
Am I the only one who noticed this little piece of info. Who cares about the cell phones and wallmarts, If they have passanger lists and airport security info, that seems fishy to me. Or am I missing something?

No, you are not missing anything. The arrests, of course, were not made simply because these fine folks had bought cell phones. I was being facetious.
The arrests were made because they were involved in money laundering for terrorist organizations. The fact that they had all this other stuff (passenger lists, notes on security scheckpoints, a bunch of cash, and a bunch of cell phones) hints that they may have been involved in more than just money laundering.

Oh sorry, I don't pick up on subtleties on the net so well. I take things literally, but I guess that will pass with the more time I spend here.

Yeah, lack of evidence. I hope they kept the phones though and that somebody watches these fuckers until they are dead. And all of their friends.

no evidence. yes.
I'm sure if there was anything the prosecutor would have gone through with the case and gained name recognition has the guy who helped save America and was tough on the evil terrorists. But nope, zero evidence of wrong-doing whatsoever. Evidence is important in these matters, zappaisgod.
and on a similar note, FBI: No links to terrorism in Caro cell phone case
two more examples of hysteria and ineffective-profiling, in my opinion.

What if lack of evidence simply means they're innocent

What if it means not enough to prosecute on? So, what were they dong with all those phones? Inquiring minds want to know.

If they're terrorists, why is the constitution protecting them.
