Flash Mobs a Threat to Security?
RawCode writes "News about a recent report released by the RCMP suggests that flash mobs could pose a future threat to security. 'Some are aimed at celebrities. Tech-savvy teenaged girls in Britain can quickly spread the word on the whereabouts of Prince William, surrounding him with hundreds of screaming fans. Some are political, organizing protests. Text-messaging was instrumental to organizing public demonstrations in the Phillippines that forced President Joseph Estrada from office'."

Text messaging? How long does it take to reach a group of 200 if you can only message 5 people at a time? And everyone knows how inaccurate "telephone" can be after a few iterations.
I'd guess that if you're gonna do something like this, then you've signed up your phone's email on a listserv; that way everyone gets the same message at nearly the same time.
