abclocal.go.com — Cell phones have become a key way for terrorists to detonate bombs remotely. But a Bay Area company has developed a possible solution for the military and for airports to pinpoint them before it's too late.

9/11 and all of these attacks never happened: <a class="user" href="http://www.armscontrolcenter.org/terrorism/101/timeline.html">http://www.armscontrolcenter.org/terrorism/101/timeline.html</a>

I think the intended idea is to help detect IED's in Iraq. Install a mesh network of these along roads, and is one cell phone remains stationary for too long, it could be checked out to make sure its not a bomb. And to all those who dont know how cell phones are used as detonators, look at this link<a class="user" href="http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=14925&only">http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=14925&only</a>

There's a war on terror?

There is no such thing as "war on terror". What we are witnessing from the US government is actually "terror" itself.

fufu: Wow, insults. You're so clever. Your ,mom must be so proud. There's a war in Iraq. That hardly counts as "terrorism" numbnuts.

You fool, don't you know that if we hadn't elected Bush we would have been all blown up by turbaned suicide bombers who were conveniently let in to the country by Democrats?

Hmmm; don't go all paranoid on us now ... This technology may possibly be two days older than sliced bread. Two companies -- Grayson Wireless (now Andrew Corp.) and True Position -- have been doing this for "E-911" geolocation since 2000-2001. While I don't know all the details of the algorithms being used, there are only so many twists to the general TDOA/FDOA solution. Not to mention that the claimed accuracy of 10 feet raises the 'BS' flag a bit given the nasty environment our cell phones operate in, particularly in an urban environment.

Ummm, digital mobile telephony IS data. Your phone turns it into analog audio.
