cell base stations find stealth planes
by Alfred Qaeda 12 Jun '01

12 Jun '01

Mobile phones may foil stealth bombers By Robert Uhlig in London America's multi-billion-dollar stealth bombers could be rendered obsolete by a British invention that uses existing mobile telephone masts to detect and track aircraft that were previously invisible to radar. US stealth fighters and bombers such as the F117, B1 and B2 played key roles in the Gulf and Kosovan wars as they are almost impossible to detect using conventional radar. However, the ease with which the mobile telephone mast system - developed at a laboratory in Hampshire - can be used to detect the aircraft has greatly concerned the military. Mr Peter Lloyd, the head of projects at Roke Manor Research, said: "I cannot comment in detail because it is a classified matter, but let's say the US military is very interested." Stealth aircraft, each of which costs at least $A3.6 billion, are shaped to confuse radar. A special paint absorbs radio waves, reducing the radar signature to the equivalent of a gull in flight. The Roke Manor scientists discovered that telephone calls sent between mobile phone masts detected the precise position of stealth aircraft with ease. "We use just the normal phone calls that are flying about in the ether," Mr Lloyd said. "The front of the stealth plane cannot be detected by conventional radar, but its bottom surface reflects very well." Mobile telephone calls bouncing between base stations produce a screen of radiation. When the aircraft fly through this screen they disrupt the phase pattern of the signals. The Roke Manor system uses receivers, shaped like television aerials, to detect distortions in the signals. A network of aerials large enough to cover a battlefield can be packed in a Land Rover. Using a laptop connected to the receiver network, soldiers on the ground can calculate the position of stealth aircraft with an accuracy of 10 metres with the aid of the GPS satellite navigation system. "It's remarkable that a stealth system that cost £60 billion [$158 billion] to develop is beaten by £100,000 mobile phone technology," Mr Lloyd said. "It's almost impossible to disable a mobile phone network without bombing an entire country, whereas radar installations are often knocked out of action with a single bomb or missile." http://www.smh.com.au/news/0106/12/world/world2.html

Trustworthy Virus
by georgemw＠speakeasy.net 12 Jun '01

12 Jun '01

The concept of a "trustworthy virus" sounds like a joke, but let's pretend to take ot seriously just a little while. When the virus narcs on the suspect, it really ought to digitally sign the squealing, otherwise the accusation could have been made by any virus out there, not necessarily the reliable rat. But is it possible in principle to keep its key secret? I would think that, since the code has to exist on the target machine, anyone with a disassembler and enough persistance can find the key, and once it's out, it's out. The formerly trusetd virus could be impersonated by any comon virus, or even by someone that isn't really a virus at all! Yeah, I know, the whole thing is silly. But is the reasoning correct? George

FBI lab went boom in 1987
by George＠Orwellian.Org 12 Jun '01

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0123/ridgeway.shtml # # Posted June 5th, 2001 11:30 AM # # Feds Accused of Hiding Accidental D.C. Blast Explosive FBI Coverup # # As if the FBI hadn't taken a big enough hit for its handling # of documents in the Oklahoma City bombing trials, Soldier of # Fortune Magazine is set to report in its August issue that # munitions stored at the bureau's Hoover Building headquarters # in Washington, D.C., blew up in 1987. # # The blast is said to have gutted the crime lab and destroyed # evidence in several major cases. # # In recent months, the lab itself has been under attack, especially # for its slipshod analysis of the Oklahoma City bombing. According # to Soldier of Fortune, the feds covered up the D.C. explosion # by saying it was a fire in a broom closet. # # Freelancer J.D. Cash, a reporter for the eastern Oklahoma # McCurtain Gazette, said he stumbled onto the story of the FBI # explosion when he interviewed rescue workers who said they'd # seen munitions inside the Murrah Federal Building. He later # queried an ATF agent about why the feds would store explosives # in a public place, and remembers the agent laughingly saying # it was a common practice and had actually resulted in an explosion # at FBI headquarters. # # That led Cash, joined by the former network TV producer and # investigator for the Timothy McVeigh defense team, Roger Charles, # to submit Freedom of Information inquiries to the FBI. Four years # later, the agency made available its internal report, along with # photos. # # The McCurtain Gazette is in the process of putting the findings # on its Web site. In addition, Soldier of Fortune will include # excerpts from the 197-page report. They indicate that in the # predawn hours of May 5, 1987, military explosives-including # Soviet-made rocket-propelled grenades-ripped through evidence # lockers at the crime lab. The authors claim the FBI report # acknowledged that lab personnel ignored cardboard boxes sitting # on the floor. These contained some 22 pounds of the explosive # C4, numerous blasting caps, and several pounds of TNT. # # Reached on Monday, FBI spokesperson Bill Carter gave a limited # account of the incident. "It was a fire," he said. "It occurred # in the FBI lab, in the explosive unit. It wasn't an explosion, # not a traditional explosion. The fire did cause some damage, # and it was in the middle of the night. I still remember it. I # came in and the fire engines were here." # # Cash and Charles write that the internal FBI document describes # a firestorm that "threatened the lives of FBI personnel and # firefighters, as missiles and shrapnel blasted through evidence # cabinets and tore gaping holes in the walls of the world-famous # crime lab." "Soon, there will be no paper money. Are you ready?" Cisco Systems commercial, 5/2000
