Airwaves buzzing on eve of Bush visit

With President George W. Bush due to touch down on British soil Tuesday, Internet message boards, mobile phones and pagers are buzzing with the sounds of protest, and police are scrambling to catch every word, reports Bernhard Warner, European Internet Correspondent for Reuters.

Warner ads that the widespread use of picture phones is also a concern as they could be used to capture images of the police officers.

"Some of these guys run counter-intelligence. They want to know who the cops are. With a mobile phone that's equipped with a camera you could start your own database of cops," said a security expert."
