lets strip people of their ability to communicate at all in the midst of a state of emergency in an attempt to stop 3 bad guys from communicating!
I have lived between rural and urban america, and I imagine you have clearly stayed in mostly urban. there are many rural places where you simply do not have reliable cell service or internet. Heck even in urban areas you dont always have it. Stopping people from communicating AFTER terrorists have committed a terrorist attack doesnt keep anyone safe more than it prevents them from finding safety themselves or ensuring the safety of their loved ones.
If you are so naive as to assume that EVERYONE has phone or internet access all the time I don't know what to tell you, as thats not even close to the case even in america. Even one percent of the (american, as an example) population amounts to over 3 million people, and roughly 20% of the population lives in rural areas. I wouldnt not at all find it hard to believe that 1/20 people living in rural areas dont have constant access to the internet or a phone in their homes or around it, At that point youre cutting them off from the outside world and knowledge of any huge threat in an attempt to stop a few people from communicating after their crime. And no, public hotspots wont connect all those people, but it will quite a few.
ITT: We remove at least thousands of peoples ability to communicate in the wake of an emergency to stop 10 people from communicating, even though those 10 people probably have pre planned their next move.
I never said everyone had internet - anywhere. Calling me naive is hypocritical. You are speculating to the point of believing what you are imagining. Like I said about the one word changed in the title. You're going off the deep end on a POSSIBILITY. And after reading one whole article. *claps*
What if's are fun to play with. Treating them as anything else is naive.
This made me lol: "I have lived between rural and urban america" (article is about terrorist attack in France). My guess is you don't live in Boston or NY, but that doesn't stop you from pretending to be an expert....
