[ 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.
