To: nwctwx; anyone

If cell phones were used to activate the remote bombs in London, which is what we are all assuming (especially in the light of your info about stopping cellular in NYC), I still can't understand how the authorities are stopping cell service within the tunnels, etc, without disrupting related service areas. How does one do that? With a jammer? Or is it a much more compact and direct cell area and therefore a much simpler process like closing down a few cellular transmitters?

Sorry for the clumsy question. I do not know how this process works.

"Passenger believes he saw bomber"

Mr Jones said he saw a man in an agitated state on the bus A bus passenger says he may have seen one of those responsible for the bomb attacks in London."

I would love to know the description of that man...

Jammers would cause too much bleed-over interference, therefore the FCC would get their knickers in a knot. Most likely there are antennas within the subway, since the earth and building materials would block signals to surface antennas. I wouldn't be too difficult to shut down these antennas, just pull the plug.
