Link: Unalaska Advertiser It wasn't exactly like butt-dialing a cell phone, but the result was similar. The always entertaining Unalaska police blotter includes this item this week: "Welfare Check - Several 911 calls which originated from a U.S. Coast Guard vessel were received in dispatch. Investigation revealed the land-line system for the vessel was set up in such a way that long-distance calls might mistakenly dial 911 rather than the intended recipient." And then there's this entry: "Suspicious Person/Activity - Caller reported a man in camouflage crouched on a hilltop near the Dutch Harbor Post Office with what appeared to be a weapon. An officer located the potential terrorist, who turned out to be a photographer with a very large lens."
