Polite Cell Phones

yEvb0 writes "Researchers at Motorola and Carnegie Mellon University are developing more polite cell phones. Strategies include programming the ringer to turn on and off according to the time of day, monitoring sound light levels to determine if the owner is a movie theater or talking to his boss, and even letting callers decide whether they'd like to interrupt based on this information."

So terrorists will now be able to have a cell-phone bomb detonate based on more specific parameters, like, when the train goes into a tunnel. Or, when there's a lot of people around.
