The students were running a large scale operation that resulted in the seizure of 4 pounds of cocaine, 50 pounds of marijuana, 48 plants, 350 Ecstasy pills, mushrooms, 30 vials of hash oil, meth and some illegal firearms. Apparently they were quite cavalier about who they would deal to and the above example of their mass text marketing is quite brazen.
Text messages are not secure and are cataloged on your mobile carriers system. I’m not aware of an SMS client or even a Mobile IM client that can enable secure communication between mobile phone users. I’m not advocating illicit activities, merely pointing out that every message to our friends and girlfriends could be displayed at a press conference like this one.
