#1 While cell phone jammers are useful against some IEDs, many current designs are trigged by signal-loss.

Could make acivating them tricky, if their cellphone service is at all spotty (doesn't that describe pretty much all cell phone service?)

#5 The problem with IEDs that go boom with a signal loss is that the "loss" can be triggered from several hundred yards in front of a convoy. You get the boom, but you don't get any casualties.

For some reason, that photo reminds me of an angry toy poodle my cat used to terrify.
