Now the Lebanese Government can simply arrest all those fighting age men at the hospitals. But i bet they won't. Carrying a Terrorists pager doesn't automatically make one a terrorist i suppose. It's quite the feat. But maybe there's one really wealthy Lebanese tech guy now living on an island somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One little problem - these words in Hebrew mean "communication device" . Let's see if it stays just on his channel or any other language reporters pick it up as a "fact". makes him kosher? hehe... ten percent off please, just the tip. I am sorry I couldn't resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be easy to find all of the terrorists now. Any fighting age man missing their testicles should be arrested immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if the user of a cell phone is a terrorist who doesn't control the entire supply chain of their devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt it. The batteries in the pagers are way too small to cause an explosion by overheating. Plus, the overheating must be instantaneous for the target not to feel it warming up. I don't have any info beyond what's in the news, but my vote is for some sort of tinkering with the device before delivery. One meme that I saw goes - this is an end game of a very long multi step operation. It started in 1928 when we founded Motorola (I don't claim that Galvin brothers were Jewish, it's just a joke ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocket18 Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM Darn... not enough pagers in evils peoples pockets. Too bad it was just confined to Lebanon and Hezbollah.

They absolutely can be and Israel has done it in the past with a few terrorists. But it’s very expensive and no normal person should be worried about it. Explosives can be put under a car - does this mean we all have to worry about our cars being loaded with explosives? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
