    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The word is out to law enforcement officials: be on the lookout for a cell phone that's actually a firearm -- a .22-calliber pistol capable of firing four rounds at the touch of a button.Nick Casale, the former counter-intelligence chief of New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority says the guns are high-tech and could eventually be produced of high-grade plastic -- making them very difficult to detect:"These are being manufactured by people who have the equipment and the knowledge to produce guns."Police have been cautioned to be careful inspecting cell phones at courthouses and other security check points. In an internal memo, New York police officers were warned: "This gun is very difficult to detect visually, but once handled it will feel heavier than a real cellular phone."In a world where many people have cell phones, experts say, police officers will become increasingly suspicious.Federal firearms agents say cell phone guns are only the latest in a long line of seemingly harmless but lethal weapons, including belt-buckle guns.</div>http://www.kyw1060.com/pages/37614.phpHaha, that's crazy.

    That isnt really funny....or something to make a joke out of.If the wrong person was to get their hands on one of them it could be very dangerous. It could make government buildings, sports stadiums, airports, jails and other places with metal detectors unsafe for potential terrorist actions where everybody else would be unarmed. :glare:

    Once word about this gets around, security people are going to inspect cellular phones, too. I doubt anything is going to happen with one of these.
