[MilCom] Broadband Comms Monitoring for Presidential Security?

[Ken]

Apparently Steve Douglass, 'Popular Communications', monthly columnist, has
got a  feature article (3 pages) "A Close Encounter of the Dubya Kind" in
the July 2004 edition which seems to indicate that he believes that when the
president is in an area, that there's an airborne aircraft flying above that
is monitoring a very wide range of frequencies being used on the ground and
if any radio comms (e.g. GMRS) are taken out of context to be a threat to
the President than a team is dispatched to track it down....

Personally, I don't think terrorists are using FRS, GMRS, MURS, or Amateur
radios for their communications needs in the United States but it's more
probable that they may be using some of those prepaid digitial cellular
phones, which would be much more versatile than short range comms....  BUT
my theory could be wrong.. perhaps we all need to be placing our scanners in
the search mode to see what we might hear!!!???

So does anyone have an opinion on these theories???
