It is amazing how criminals are also moving fast with "Innovation". If the trend picks up, very soon cellphones will be blacklisted at the airports and banks as wellas VIP gatherings. Recently I read in the press (think CNN) that international criminals are now moving away from the popular AK 47 and that the Russian company balance sheet is shaky.

Mobile and guns! Read more below... Subject: GUN IN CELLPHONE DECOY - BE CAREFUL Most of us see airport security as a pain. Some of us even feel violated. When you see the below pictures, you'll understand why they want our cell phones through the x-ray machine. If you get asked to test your cell phone at the airport, this is the reason. Cell phone guns have arrived. AND they are real. 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! Wake up to our NEW WORLD!! We shouldn't complain about airport security 'invading your privacy. At first sight you will think the piece below is a mobile phone, but you will discover that you are wrong by taking a critical look at it the second time. This is a real, functional and deadly gun. Pls disseminate this information to all people in your area. Pls sensitise all the security guards on this latest development.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
