Yeah thanks, that makes more sense. The devices probably are in New York because of the high antenna density which makes it easier to actually not jam the cell towers.

The secret service spun it as a terror threat in the same way your orthopedist tells you your teeth problem comes from bad posture.

I mean, the thing might be used to jam the networks (one would have to check that the devices still work when using all the antennas simultaneously), but that really sounds like an awful lot of effort for a disruption that’s neither guaranteed nor that distuptive. I mean, this would create some chaos for sure, but law enforcement and emergency services use radio to communicate. 99% of businessses use wired phones. So this would mostly affect what? deliveries?

A large scale spam operation is way more plaisible.

That the secret service is directly under Trump may also explain why they spun it as potential terrorism stuff. it’s part of their effort to make people believe that America is under terror threat, so that they can legitimize power grabbing…
