The IED problem is being handled by jamming Cellphone Frequencies. It seems that the Terrorist remote detonator of choice is a cell phone.

Suicide bombers are the ultimate wild card, this is where we need to learn from the Israelis. They are not 100% successful but they has been effective in reducing the number of attacks.

Car alarms and garage door openers are also very popular and much easier to hack than cell phones.

Actually, this is a good illustration of just how flexible the enemy is in Iraq. One of the more disturbing developments that the military is dealing with in Iraq is that they're finding more and more IEDs that are being detonated by infra-red transmissions, which are much more difficult to detect because they aren't "broadcast" like a radio or cell phone signal.
