But the countermeasures people have to react. It's not something you can
be


I really doubt any new equipment will be needed. There might be some
reprogramming required but an aircraft like the EA-6B
could be configured, in flight, to listen to hundreds of frequencies,
analyze dozens of modulation schemes or just plain triangulate an
emitter on the basis of energy as it flies around.


There is going to be no problem jamming a cellphone in a tight radius
around the troops its protecting and no problem jamming a broad range
of frequencies commonly used. If there is an emitter within a radius
around the troops its going to be recorded for later analysis and that
particular remote detonation system is likely to be neutralized.


You assume they'll stick to radio.

Infra red lasers, as an example, are freely available and simple to use.

So, come to think of it, is the Internet...

These people are not stupid.

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.


Motion detectors?
