#1 Wonder how well they work on radar guns?

#2 Or Zionist Death Rays (TM)?

#3 Hmmmmm. I wonder how it works. Anything that needs a code, I can see how this would stop it.

But I wonder if it would work against really "dumb" triggers. If you had, say, a 220 MHz receiver that simply detected a signal and went "boom." No sequencing or codes. In that case, would not the Warlock set the bomb off? If you are far enough away, that's good. If you are close by, that might be sub-optimal.

Of course, if the Brave Freedom Fighters and Minutemen are simply using what they were allocated by Saddam, that's not an issue. But, if the French were to sell their "best allies" some newer simpler bombs...

#4 "Can I get me an RF jammer here?"

#5 I thought this was a by-product of the Zionist Death Ray technology?

#6 Need something for the wireline IEDs as well. Some sort of EMP generator? Probably too hazardous.

#7 Might not take an EMP. Long wires make *excellent* antennas, which is why the "TURN OFF 2-WAY RADIO" signs near any blasting site.

#8 I dont think a 'dumb' trigger such as you describe would work either. Anyone walking by with a transmitter might trigger it during deployment.

On the other hand I am not a demolitions expert.

#9 Jackal, both jammers (for convoys) and spoofers (to set off the bombs) are probably being used. For the dumb triggers, a powerful radio frequency sweep can set off bombs many miles away. For coded signals like car alarms and garage door openers, powerful transmitters at base camp can continuously sweep through all the codes.
