> My frustration watching the near daily reporting of casualties by bombing
is getting worse!
> There are knowledgable members on this list that could offer information
relating to the ongoing death of US army and civilian personnel in Iraq
(to-day: 5 soldiers, 8 civilians).
> Fact: Most of the bombs are set off by radio transmission
> Fact: Transmitters used are cell phones or R/C toy cars
> Fact: A recent TV news clip showed GI emptying a dead terrorist's suitcase
and removed
>          two or more R/C toy cars
> I have never heard any news comments about the possible use of short range
jamming devices in armed forces or civilian vehicles.
> The frequencies transmitted are known.
> Question: How much would it cost to built such a jammer? SHould this be a
high priority item for the pentagon people?
> Has anyone heard about such jammers already being used, and if so, why
dont they work.
