Jeff, OT Re truth in advertising, some of the tech ads lately have gone overboard. For instance, the Sprint PCS ad where a guy in the woods gets on the wireless web and looks up real quickly whether or not a snake is poisonous or not. 1- he is probably out of range 2- I have the Sprint web service and it is limited at best, I do not even think you can get that far into the net with this service yet. 3- It FOR SURE is not that fast, it is a SLOW and PAINFUL process to get info...tap, tap, tap... How about all the commercials where they are trading stocks on the beach!? Where is the wire!? LOL! MileHigh

Jeff, OK, most car thieves will not be "techno-savvy". However, I can imagine an underground market for such jamming devices. Certainly there used to exist such a market for cellular handsets modified to capture account details from etacs phones in the UK before GSM became widely used. It was also possible to buy devices that would capture the signals used to operate car immobilisers. Never underestimate those who would sell gadgets to thieves. John
