What are at least three (3) ways drug dealers are using technology and/or the Internet to further their elicit trade?

What will be an ideal response?


Three ways that drug dealers are using technology and/or the Internet to further their illicit trade include using:

"Throwaway" cell phones, where no contract is required for activation and minutes are purchased at a local convenience store, is the drug dealers communication device of choice. Because no contract is required their names are not associated with the phone, making a trace rather useless

Pagers are used to stay in contact with customers, making the dealer "digitally wired."

New portable "thumb drives" or flash memory devices that are 126MB to 512MB in size can be easily concealed and contain all of the drug dealer's nefarious information.
