High-tec cell phone locates stored water!
When I first caught the flash on Transit News, it struck me that the device (which uses a Global Tracking System to locate water for parched immigrants illegally crossing into the U.S.), might actually encourage treks across deserted sections of the border.
Ricardo Dominquez vows that he invented the compact cell phone, with the leading-edge technology, with altruistic motives.
Aware that illegal immigrants might literally die of thirst in barren regions of the desert, he conjured up the idea to store units of water in the desert, which could be tracked by what he innocently refers to as a "transborder immigrant tool".
In the final analysis, he asserts that it is not a political device - but rather - a humanitarian one.
However, critics like myself, have quickly pointed fingers at a couple of the features which suggest otherwise.
For example, the phones are encrypted to avoid electronic detection by the border patrol.
An innocent invention for the benefit of all?
Hardly.
In addition to locating the "hidden Oasis", the cell is capable of detecting the nearest border patrol outpost stations, too.
Yup!
The immigrants have been tipped off where to tread softly to ensure they are not detected by the border patrol's electronic surveillance equipment.
The communication tool will also be loaded with haiku-like poems "with a welcoming theme".
That one's the tip-off.
Folks, this guy is not only walking a tightrope, but is downright wacko!
I expect a host of INS Officials, Federal Agents, and Border Patrol brass will be hot on his tail.
This convoluted charade should be up-and-running about two seconds flat, if that, before the powers-that-be shut the Professor's a**-backwards operation down.
Does Mr. Dominquez think everyone has "stupid" written on their forehead?
News at 11!
