Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

I have a cousin that works at a petrochem plant. He told me that all the “common trips” never really happen since they’ve been drilled on how and what to do and how to prevent them, but the second shit really does go down you better have a senior around that has seen that specific trip before. Especially considering there’s tens/hundreds of thousands worth of produce being burned off by the second until things are back under control.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
