The Prowler is nothing compared to this beauty:

But then, I'm partial to the F-111 since that was the aircraft I worked on in the Air Force. It was a shame to retire those Spark Varks.

You can get cell phone jammers from England and India, but it is illegal to use them in the USA.

Is there a smaller version of this device that could be carried into a movie theater or restaurant? :) Yes, but then you'll have people asking you, "Is that an antenna sticking out of your pants or are you just happy to see me"?
To: unspun
Yes, that was here in Michigan. Men were buying up Tracfones at WalMarts here and taking them back to TX to “sell at a profit.” I guess they don’t have WalMarts in TX. Also, they had removed the battery chargers and SIM cards. I guess you get more money for them that way in TX.

They claimed that they were buying them at retail in the US to sell on behalf of the prophet at a profit in Swarthistan. If they weren't given back so the Feds could trace them and catch the big fish, it's just one more reason to send Michael Chertoff back to the bosom of Rudy Giuliani and New Jersey.

That is, if anyone under age 40 knows what OPSEC means, anymore...Under 40 here. I know what it means and hope that someone knows what SAEDA is ;)

It’s kind of like asking “what’s treason”? Or the meaning of “is”...

Shape can only overcome so much. The angle of incidence is still an important factor. Have you ever heard of flying under the radar?

Part of our mission in West Germany was to jam our arty units during training exercises. We’d let them get near the end of their end-of-day reports and then jam the last few lines. Used to drive them nuts, especially at 3 A.M.

Afterall, cell phones slipping through the Feds' fingers to terrorists in Iraq means that we're helping them to fight over there, so they don't fight us over here -- right?

You need a big power source.

Had a lot of fun dring FTXs with this thing. There is something to be said for being in tactical units.

Be kinda fun to set off IEDs by satelite. Especially in the assembly process.

Regarding the scanner, some years ago I was on the bridge of a Coast Guard ship, and the PA system for shouting instructions to the deck was clearly labeled ‘Radio Shack.’
