| Major cellphone outage reported in NYC |
| 2006-08-10 |
| New York police reported a major outage of cellular phone service in the borough of Queens on Thursday. "It's just an FYI. It has nothing to do with anything else. It's not criminal," a police spokesman said. Two of New York's major airports -- JFK and LaGuardia -- are in the borough of Queens. Airport security was intensified after British police said they had foiled a plot to blow up several aircraft flying between Britain and the United States. |

| #6 Chuck: it occurs to me that an EA-6B or equivalent could probably do it. They don't call it "The Christmas Tree" for nothing. An old sweetheart of mine used to work at Addington Laboratories before they were gobbled up by Eaton. The EA-6B can illuminate just about every portion of the non-ionizing electromagnetic spectrum you would care to name. |
