CSI Miami: Bluetoothing?
I don't know when the episode originally ran, but it played on my DVR last night. Anyway, in this episode one of the CSI guys goes to a bar with his Bluetooth-capable Blackberry and uses it to troll for girls at the club with anonyous sex as the goal. It worked, and he lost his badge which was then used in a murder and ended up going to counselling after the DNA chick got suspended for entering a rape victim's DNA into the database, but that's not the point
Is this like most things on CSI complete fictional fabrication or a good reason for me to run out and get a Blackberry (because I don't have a badge, and as such really don't need to worry about losing it)? |

i believe it was called 'toothing'. a rumored behavior in the uk, but i don't think it ever actually happened on any sort of scale.

Bluejacking is the generic term, toothing may be sex-specific.
It involves setting a contact on your phone with the name of the message you want to send, then trolling for phones/pdas with bluetooth turned on and sending them the contact. The idea sounds about as likely to pick up chicks as honking a car horn... |

Re: CSI Miami: Bluetoothing?
Toothing was revealed to be a hoax which later inspired a similar prank, "greenlighting". (People are suggestable, so doubtless people have tried 'toothing, but it's nothing resembling a real trend.)
