Whatever next?

Something for Dick Cheney's Xmas stocking, I think...

22-caliber Cell Phone Gun

The guns, which are capable of firing four rounds in quick succession, are believed to have been manufactured somewhere in the Balkans (possibly Croatia), and first showed up in Europe in late 2000. Some of these cell-phone guns have since been seized in drug raids in the Netherlands, England and Germany.
The US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of this invention and have instructed baggage screeners to be on the lookout for suspicious mobile phones. Obviously since 9/11, the US authorities are taking this device seriously. Meanwhile airport authorities across Europe are also implementing systems to X-ray all cell phones.
