[ discussing US West's dial replacement program in the Minneapolis area to thwart drug dealers ] With the cash these boyz carry around with them, it is trivial to walk into Radio Shack, plunk down US$20 for a pocket tone dialer, and thumb their coca-stained noses at US West and the knights in shining badges. Changing the COS to outgoing only seems much more effective if callbacks are the MO. (Acronyms included for Robert's benefit.)
