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...

You need less than that. Not much help for the snipers...
