I don't know. I have never been around them in public places, but that is
what they say they do. They seem to think it is less rude than shouting for
each other.

Should I recommend that they stay at Alexis Park Inn? :-)

I know people who bought a set of those tiny walkie talkies to keep
track of each other in crowded places. Seems a bit more neighborly
than blowing a whistle in a mall. Range is a couple of miles outside.

It bugs the hell out of me when I am skiing at Aspen (not that I am
always skiing at Aspen, but that is where I've seen/heard the
walkie-talkies).

The parents go to Ajax and the kiddies go to Buttermilk (or perhaps I
have that wrong, and the kiddies are bumpging the moguls on the Back
of Bell). And they talk, talk, talk. Where are you now? We're here.
Where shall we have lunch? Are you having fun?

I yearn for an AK-47.

Some people are easily annoyed. Would it bother you if they were standing
next to each other and talking non-stop? Or is it just walkie-talkie envy? I
suspect that this is the same problem that causes some people to explode at
the mere sight of a cell phone.

Yes, but would you prefer that they contact each other using whistles
instead?

Not quite as annoying as the yo-yo who brings his boom box to the top of the
mountain where I've hiked to get away from the noise of civilization. My
thesis advisor wanted me to build him a jammer for those circumstances. I
suggested something more lethal, like an electomagnetic pulse generator that
would fry his RF detector. Unfortunately I never built either one. Sigh...
