Tech To Stop Terror?
Recently, it was reported that a mobile application has been developed that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to trace the location of other cell phones.

If phones become instrumental in preventing terror attacks, they would have really becomes smart. - Mahesh Kapasi, New Delhi
