Using pinpointed jamming techniques is very complex. The jammer will ALWAYS make errors and thus jam friendly traffic frequently. Trained military communicators know how to deal with enemy jamming. Highly doubtful that the Feebs and locals would do anything other that try to shout louder into their screwed up radios. They did it during 9/11, as proven by the taped records from call centers. A Mumbai terrorist attack will be just as bad if not worse. Got secure redundant comms? At the end of the day The Terrorists will find away around this jamming threat -- now that they officially know about it thanks to news stories like this. They will use messengers, hand-signals, coded prayers to allah at the local terror center and worship place .. special combinations or colors of clothing, remember that while the muslim terrorists may be one generation removed from the stone age, they are no less stupid than the rest of us. Jamming cell phones on a blanket basis over a small geographic area is a Good Thing, if the Law has an alternate means of commo, which they usually do not. Oh, and you all do know that the usual government trunked and cellular communications system (secure or not) are very easily jammed by common Radio Shack Items, right? Let's not even get into the civil liberty and the FCC regulartory areas of this jamming plan, OK? I wish them luck. Using pinpointed jamming techniques is very complex.

The Israelis came up with it first. A cell jammer is a suitcase sized product that jams frequencies in the paging and cell phone ranges for up to a 2km radius, or smaller if needed. Some churches in the US have applied to the FCC for licenses to use said devices, to keep people from interrupting holy services. And please.... no 1st amendment rights comments. The device is used for the purposes of blocking communications when needed...such as hostage situations, terrorist attacks, ect.
