Awferchrisake.

I thought it was a cell phone....Doh.
It's a Walkie-Talkie with a phone dialer added.
Hmmmm, wonder why they don't use a phone?
Afraid of wrong numbers?

probly too expensive to buy a new cell phone for each bomb. all they need for this setup is a cheap lil 2 way radio

2 walkie talkies or phones needed for each IED (can't type that without thinking of a uterus). phones are sold separately and are more expensive, need towers, service, etc. walkie talkies are sold in pairs, are cheap, and are relatively foolproof over short distances.

a scary fact of what is going on over there right now is that they are finally getting good at shaped charges. they are turning our reactive armor into a weapon against us at it blows inward.

OK, that makes sense, but why do the need a key pad? Send and recieve a code number for safety?

One more question and homeland security will be dropping by, I suppose.
