The more sophisticated jammers only switch on when a signal is detected,
hopefully quickly enough to stop a detonation.


They'll make electronic garage door openers, radio type car alarm tags
and
a huge assortment of other things entertaining to use...


You'll just have to wait for the HMMWVs to drive past before your car will
unlock, your garage door open or your cordless phone ring.

It's counterproductive to shut down a neighbourhood, you just need to
prevent detonations within lethal distance.


It also gives a nice easy system to tell the snipers that they're coming.

Sound of telephone ringing, a voice says "They are at point Mustapha" (or
"Aunty Fatima says your washing is ready" if they're being really paranoid
about things)

The guy knows they'll be around the corner any minute and redies his .50
calibre sniper rifle...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
