Wired News: Improvised Bombs Baffle Army

Wired News: Improvised Bombs Baffle Army:
"The signal 'cannot make contact, therefore when it can't make contact it doesn't detonate,' he added. '(It's like) the cell phone never gets through, but (enemy forces) think it goes through.'"

Two questions: Since you have to essentially overload all potential frequencies, do you think this is gonna help with the radio comms in the vehicles themselves? You figure some radio with a 2 mile expected range isn't gonna be so sensitive as to be also completely incercepted and rendered useless by a unit dumping out so muhc power as to overload an entire spectrum to the point where a garage door's steady tone can't be transmitted 3o metres?

Secondly: If we're so freaked about the potential radiation from a cel phone, what do you think the potential damage will be to a brain or prostate subjected to 8-24 hours a day of prolonged exposure to a unit less than 30 feet away that is, as I said, required to essentially overload the entire spectrum? Of course, if you believe the stories that the military accidentally on purpose injected experimental substances during its vaccination effort through either negligence or as a huge scret test program and which may have also bombarded several countries, so far, with 'lightly radioactive' slugs from its larger cannon, then you quite probably will believe that the military will either accidentally or knowingly subject its own members or the populace of the countries it's invading to the huge potential for cellular damage from a 'defensive item' like this one.

Were they to subject a civilian population to this kind of radio-frequency bath, it'd be an even great contravention of the Hague than the use of 'Depleted' Uranium slugs.

Not only is it beginning to appear that ANY money spent in ANY effort other than this brutal and belligerent invasion of a second-world nation would be money better spent - and lives not lost - but it would almost appear, to some, that the nation that spends so much money trying to accidentally inflict so much casualties on a civilian population through intent or blind negligence is entirely too arrogant or stupid to be given the full measure of our sympathy.
