Believe me things are not going to get "normal" Once the security devices and infrastructure is instaled it remains where it is . At the country I live in (Turkey) we had some serious terorism problems during the late eighties and early nineties. When secuity checks , metal dedectors etc first appeared we were told they were temporary.Now although things have relatively cooled down and there is much less terorist action , security checks are practicaly everywhere , every shoping mall and office building , have full blown metal detectors. One of the large malls even have airport style xray machines.
Just today I had get through two security checks to see a senior executive of a large bank,one at the main gate and one at the executive floor. At first it is annoying but after a while you get used to them and barely take notice. What I hate most though is the jerks who see security as a sign of prestige and/or method of intimidation and realy have no need for it. I get extremely pissed when I go to a small ass company (10-20 people max)and they have full security at the door. These jerks can afford security but rarely manage to pay our bills on time !
My current cell phone -a ericsson gh688 just died. I need to buy a new one tomarrow.The problem is ý am nor sure if to buy a wap phone or not.Considering that I will have to change the handsfree kit in the car as well Do you think I should buy a cheap replacement and use it until gprs or should I go with a wap phone such as a Nokia 7110 or the siemens c-50?
