ABC News is reporting that unusually large quantities of disposable cell phones are being purchased by individuals of Middle-Eastern origin in California and Texas. While the phones have many legitimate uses, they also have been used by criminal gangs and terrorists to make it more difficult for law enforcement officials to trace their activities. Prepaid phones were used by terrorists to detonate their bombs in the Madrid train attacks of 2004. There also have been reports of attempts of large purchases of such phones in the Dallas area.
