 Why are airport 
security people taking a closer look at cell phones?<FONT 
color=black> Because 
cell phone guns have been discovered OCONUS. The attached 
video <FONT 
color=black size=2>clip shows how cell phone guns 
operate. <FONT 
color=black> These 
phones are not in the U.S. yet, but they are in use overseas.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> Beneath 
the digital phone face is a .22 -caliber handgun capable of 
firing <FONT 
color=black size=2>four rounds in rapid succession using the standard 
telephone keypad.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT color=black 
size=2>European law enforcement officials are stunned by the discovery of 
these <FONT 
color=black size=2>deadly decoys. They say phone guns are changing the 
rules of engagement in<FONT 
color=black> <FONT color=black 
size=2>Europe.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> We find 
it very alarming, says Wolfgang Dicke of the German Police 
Union. <FONT 
color=black size=2>It means police will have to draw their weapons 
whenever a person being<FONT 
color=black> checked 
reaches for their cell phone.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> <FONT color=black 
size=2>Although cell phone guns have not reached the U.S. yet, the FBI, 
Bureau of <FONT 
color=black size=2>Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Customs 
Service say they have<FONT 
color=black> been 
briefed on the new weapons. All U.S. ports of entry have been<FONT 
color=black> <FONT color=black 
size=2>alerted.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> These 
covert weapons were first discovered in October of 2000 when 
Dutch <FONT 
color=black size=2>police came upon a cache during a drug raid in 
Amsterdam. In another<FONT 
color=black> recent 
incident, a Croatian gun dealer was caught attempting to smuggle 
a <FONT color=black 
size=2>shipment through Slovenia into Western Europe. Police say both 
shipments <FONT 
color=black size=2>are believed to have originated in Yugoslavia. Interpol 
sent a warning to<FONT 
color=black> law 
enforcement agencies around the world.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> If you 
didn't know they were guns, you would think they were cell 
phones, <FONT 
color=black size=2>said Ari Zandbergen, spokesperson for the Amsterdam 
police. Only when you<FONT 
color=black> have 
one in your hand do you realize that they are heavier than a 
regular <FONT 
color=black size=2>cell phone.<FONT 
color=black> <FONT 
color=black> Be 
patient if security asks to look at your cell phone or turn it on 
to <FONT 
color=black size=2>show that it works. They have a good 
reason! <FONT 
color=black>
