"cell-phone gun"
Everybody should get one. It's the latest hot item.
"Deputy confiscates woman's cell phone"
"Delaware County sergeant suspected device could be gun"
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content...e.html?sid=101
"........Sgt. Jonathan Burke wrote that he repeatedly ordered Greenfield to place the "unknown" object in her pocket and keep her hands free. When Greenfield refused, she was arrested and charged with obstructing official business and resisting arrest.
Burke wrote in his report that he feared that Greenfield could have been holding a dangerous object such as a "cell-phone gun."................"
If he thought it was a "cell-phone gun" why did he tell her to put it in her pocket?

Well, I know my iPhone rarely answers calls and drops 80% of them. May as well turn it into something useful like a gun. 
On a serious-er note, it appears our friend Sgt Burke was pulling a CYA move and did not want to be on video.

True on all counts.

I did some reading on those awhile back. They're made inexpensively somewhere in Eastern Europe. Probably wouldn't be that hard to get one of those and a few .22LR rounds through a security checkpoint somewhere.

Certainly not through any of our air-tight TSA checkpoints!

We got briefed on cell phone guns at least as far back as 2004, IIRC they held 5-6 rounds of either 22 LR or 25ACP and could fire all rounds very quickly and looked just like a Nokia cell, just one more reason to always wear your vest.
