Discuss.


Ummm. Probably not justified.


Damn, someone who figured it out without a lot of hoopla. ;)

But... what if they're actually calling the phone connected to a bad
thing in their check bag?

Good luck, since the aircraft skin and interior deck would provide a very
effective faraday shield against any sort of radio transmission. Further
cargo loaded on passenger aircraft is all pre-screened for explosives and
thus it would be hard to get such a device in place. Further assuming a
device is in place...why would you need to 'contact' it with your cell phone
anyway?
There is very little you can done from your phone that could be done
remotely via timers and various types of sensors.

In theory. But my phone works quite well before we pull away from the
gate.

That's obvious. You wish to communicate with it.

Yep, but I bet you're not sitting in the cargo deck.

There is a minor difference between the cargo deck and the passenger deck.
Specifically windows.

Further
cargo loaded on passenger aircraft is all pre-screened for explosives and
thus it would be hard to get such a device in place.

Doesn't matter, you still would have to get such a device through multiple
levels of security, and so on.

Further, if such a device could be planted, then wouldn't that be the person
you would want to shoot.....not some idiot on a cell phone?

phone
anyway?


That's obvious. You wish to communicate with it.


To do what? Make it blow up? That's about the only communication you would
need and as said that could be handled by the device itself given timers and
a few sensors.

Not into a cargo hold it doesn't.

I don't know. Haven't been in the belly of a plane since the AF, and
I didn't have a cell phone then.

Mil Handbook 419A covers grounding , bonding , and shielding pretty
well. Read the chapter on screen rooms before making statements that
cell phones will not work in a cargo hole. To keep out rf signals
takes a lot of work.

Yep, and that has pretty much been accomplished in the cargo hold. Because,
they bond all the metal together in an aircraft to avoid picking up static
charges. most is automatic in construction but where you have something like
a gasketed door or shock mount....it comes with it's own bonding wire to
insure that it's electrically grounded (ie bonded) to the rest of the
aircraft.

So, like I said, good luck getting a cell signal into the cargo hold once
all the access doors are secured.

It would be simpler to use the remote keyfob on your car keys than it
would be to use a cell phone..and with less folderall.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

I would probably press the wrong button and the horn would start
honking.
