Apparently these devolved simians don't fully understand cell phone technology

Good. and I hope nobody posts how the voice-stream technologies of cellular and satellite phones work or how they can scramble their voice by placing a large magnet next to the phone's back case as they dial and talk. Or how the range can be extended by wiring the phone directly to the ignition coil of an autombile while the engine is runnig.

The first Chechen leader, Dudayev who started this war was killed because he talked too long on his cellular and satellite phones (I can't remember which) and the Russians guided a cruise missile on his frequency right into his ear.

Chechen leader Dzokhar Dudayev knew he needed to limit the time he spent using the satellite phone given to him by his Islamic allies in Turkey. It was the spring of 1996, and the survivor of two Russian assassination attempts was wary of Russia's ability to home in on his communication signal - and his location. But on the evening of April 21, Dudayev, baited by Russian President Boris Yeltsin's offer of peace talks, called an adviser in Moscow to discuss the impending negotiations. This time, Dudayev stayed on the phone too long. American spy satellites, trained on Iraq and Kuwait, were quickly turned north to the Caucasus mountains and Chechnya, according to a former communications specialist with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The satellites pinpointed the Chechen leader's location to within meters of his satellite phone signal, and the coordinates were sent to a Russian Sukhoi Su-25 fighter jet. Dudayev was killed by two laser-guided air-to-surface missiles while still holding the phone that gave him away.
