If Steve Jobs can give Apple keynotes with the reality distortion field emanating from his iBelt, George Bush has a cellphone signal jamming field that follows him whenever he goes to visit other countries.
Conjecture around the phone-jamming helicopter has arisen as a result of its appearance in attendance on Mr Bush at the 2005 APEC summit in South Korea. Reporters covering the conference said that a Black Hawk chopper would shadow the presidential motorcade, and as it passed overhead mobile phones would lose touch with the local network. – The Register
I’d love a nifty gadget like that, especially when its equipped onto a Blackhawk chopper. It sure makes some good excuse too for missing out on calls from family and friends. The mobile phone jammer is meant to jam wireless signals that can potentially be instruments for detonating weapons of mass destruction.
Last year, Nokia said they’re the number one manufacturer of digital cameras and MP3 players. I guess if you take these things with face value, they’re also the number one manufacturers of bomb detonators?
Gee.
