Oops....GSM not as impenetrable as once thought. Any idea if this could be done to CDMA too?

I'm sure if there was enough will, money and time it could be done. Would it be as practical to pluck a CDMA call out of the air? I doubt it. Consider this: Since every CDMA call is noise to every other call and the power levels need to be closely controlled to keep all signals equal when they arrive at the base, the only location that would be suitable for intercepting these signals would be at the base itself. At that point, it is probably much easier to just break into the base and put a wiretap on.

Just a guess,

Bux
