Gun that looks like a cell phone

What will they think of next, you know there is going to be a really dumb criminal who is going to shoot himself in the head while trying to make a phone call!!

Read this and then watch the video clip.

If you get asked to test your cell phone at the airport, this is the
reason. Because cell phone guns have been discovered. The attached
video clip shows how cell phone guns operate. These phones are not in
the U.S. 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 U.S. 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
U.S. 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!
