NYPD wants tech to disrupt wireless communications
In a Thursday testimony before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly revealed that his department is seeking technology that can disrupt cell phone and other wireless communications in the event of a crisis.

Kelly also said that in such events as a mass casualty attack on American soil, the media can pose a threat by revealing key police tactics, which could be relayed to said attackers.

Could also reveal a lot of other things the police don't want shown.
What are they really up to??

1. Are they insane?
How the hell is someone going to call 911 to summon the cops, firefighters, ambulance, et al., when the cell phones are jammed and the landlines are disrupted? Smoke signals? :wtf:
