Blackberry Saves Lawyers From Kidnapping; ATL shocked, mildly disappointed.

The AP reported yesterday about several ATL lawyers who sought and got help from the authorities after being taken captive. The lawyers sent text messages to loved ones asking for assistance.

I have to assume "text message" here means "SMS from a Blackberry Device." I would bemoan the possibility that this embolden future lawyers to use their BB more often, but I think the keys would be at risk of melting clear off the things if that happened.

More disturbingly, the victim's brother, recipient of the text message, initially thought it was a joke. "Hi hon, hope dnr is on tbl for kids. Been kdnpd. OMG. Call 991."
