Message received: Emergency text messages can herd people into target areas

The U.S. government, through its sponsored media outlets (see link and excerpt, below), is pushing for a requirement that students carry mobile devices to receive text messages from central authorities.

But as a I report in an upcoming issue of Glenn Beck’s Fusion Magazine, rogue authorities and terrorists themselves may be able to use SMS (for short messaging service) to herd people into traps, where gunmen or explosives may be awaiting them.

Also, as Alan Watt listeners and parallelnormal community members already know, British military authorities have already suggested that so-called flashmobs (which use SMS) are in the process of  being weaponized.

clipped from www.pbs.org  Virginia Tech: Yet Another Wake-Up Call for Better Emergency Preparedness [Almost] every cell phone available today is able to send and receive SMS text messages. SMS infrastructure generally holds up better in times of crisis than email, and it automatically appears on your phone’s screen when you receive one. [I] have no doubt that universities that don’t have mandatory cell phone requirements or SMS alert systems are going to take the idea a lot more seriously now.
