Long term, it can be worked around. Short term, it's extremely effective. Did you read that all the bomb detonated in the last 15 days used cell phones?
This will stop people from detonating their bombs until they can design a detonator that doesn't rely on cell phones. I doubt it's just a 5 minute switch to use a different detonator and just have the bombs work as effectively as they do now.
- astrodust 14y agoIt probably is a five minute switch if you know in advance that phones aren't going to be working. Blacking out the cell phone network is a short term strategy that, if used repeatedly, will just lead to different methods being employed. Phones are just cheap and effective, plus not very suspicious. The problem here is that you won't be able to phone in a bomb sighting. You're basically screwed if you see someone setting up one.
