Cell phone guns? What's next, lipstick grenades?
 

If you get asked to test your cell phone at the airport, this is the reason...

Because cell phone guns have been discovered. These phones are not in the US 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 ."We find it very alarming," says Wolfgang Dicke of the German Police Union ."It means police will have to draw their weapons whenever a person being checked reaches for their cell phone." Although cell phone guns have not reached the US yet, the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S.Customs Service say they have been briefed on the new weapons.

All US ports of entry have been alerted. These covert weapons were first discovered in October of 2000 when Dutch police came upon a cache during a drug raid in Amsterdam.

In another recent incident, a Croatian gun dealer was caught attempting to smuggle a shipment through Slovenia into Western Europe. Police say both shipments are believed to have originated in Yugoslavia.

Interpol sent a warning to law enforcement agencies around the world. "If you didn't know they were guns, you would think they were cell phones," said Ari Zandbergen, a spokesperson for the Amsterdam police. "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!

Damn,

The possibility for disaster his huge. Put phone/gun up to your ear. You talk to someone while shooting someone else.:1orglaugh

that's completely insane, it's already difficult enough to get thru customs, can u imagine how much longer it's going to take now???:mad:

I made something like that along time ago, this is all nothing new... think back to the 22cal zip guns of the 50s mobsters.

Were those zip guns capable of firing 4 rounds in rapid succession? Three or four hijackers armed with these could do some serious dammage.

If i wanted to hijack i plane I have 4 or 6 people on the take strategicly on the plane then i would start slashing peoples necks with the butter knifes they hand out... the knife wont run out of bullets!

What if your cell phone battery is dead? Will this become a problem?

this security shit is really getting on my nerves

What about having a phone gun AND a butterknife? That way you have 4 shots and can fall back on your neck-slashing plan.

you psycho you.


Things are going to get worse at the security check-in before it gets better. That is, IF it ever gets better.

My friends and fans in law enforcement & intelligence aren't too happy to see this, I was amazed that this isn't considered an AOW, and can be bought just like any other H&K or Kimber...
