    I wondered about this as a tactic. Like doesn’t a pager really limit the age group / demographic you can target?

      Not really. They’re using them because they’re untrackable (one way pagers only receive data and never send anything). That’s quite important if your enemy has laser guided bombs and a complete lack of empathy for civilian lives.
