| The trade off is not favorable. Often have I heard of officers looking for
a specific vehicle traveling through the state as a wanted individual and
in one instance I did come across that vehicle in my travels. I was able to
contact 911 with my cellular phone to notify police of the sighting.
Scanners can and do help local officials by their users providing

| MOTOROLA CHIP TO CONNECT MARKETS
Issue: Wireless
Yesterday Motorola announced a technological breakthrough that will allow a
single computer chip to handle a variety of operating technologies working
on disparate radio frequencies. Wireless service providers expect the
development to spawn new services and drive down prices. Ive already
called over to Motorola to get more information, said US Cellulars chief
executive Donald Nelson. With the capability theyre talking about, I can
offer customers new packages for regional calling, nationwide calling and
even international roaming. When you put all these things into a single
phone, it drives down the costs for everyone.

| Limitations on scanner reception frequencies, including image frequencies,
(no cellular), permitted infrared surveillance of homes that are not
otherwise under surveillance, forbiddence of entry into your own home while
the police obtain a search warrant (lest you dispose of any evidence),
virtual if not absolute bans on firearm ownership, gun shows, private gun
dealers, etc., sanctions against the Boy Scouts for unusual adherence to moral
principles, the FBIs Carnivore monitoring of e-mail, (probably newsgroups

of occupancy from federal lands (parks) by homo sapiens, the massacre of
children at Waco, Randy Weaver, untold number of innocent people wielding
cellular phones and wallets killed by multiple punctures from 9mm or 40 cal
police weapons, the spotted owl and some dumb ass salamander versus the
American Farmer, and much much more. |
| In Thailand cars are usually squeaky clean. People typically overdress
for most occasions and put as much effort into their personal
appearance as their wallets will allow them. Making a good appearance
often means displaying wealth. It is very important to be seen talking
on the latest model cellular phone or driving a nice Mercedes (even
though they are more than likely bought on credit). Expensive
clothing, displays of gold and designer labels all contribute to a
polite image. |
| The Wireless Technology Group says studies show that in some cases cellular
phones placed near the chest can cause pacemakers to recalibrate themselves
or stop and restart. The advisory group warns that new digital pocket
phones are of particular concern -- especially since their numbers are
likely to proliferate once personal communications services are widespread.
No such effects from the older analog cellular phones have been observed. A
spokesman for Medtronic, a pacemaker supplier, says the company is advising
patients with pacemakers to turn off their portable phones when the phone is
in a shirt pocket, to hold the phone 10 to 12 inches from the chest when
using it, and to hold the phone to the ear opposite the side where the
pacemakers implanted. (*Wall Street Journal*, 28 Apr 1995, p. B1) |
