Other speculation was that it might have been inside a vinyl bumper.
Ah, yes, that would be another place. :)
Gordon's testimony was that it was a continuously-transmitting bug. Which of course brought up the question of the power supply.
I've read that bit later on, that it would beep him if he got out of a specific range. I think you could wire up a bug to whatever recharges the battery and have the bug recharge it's batteries that way.. that would of course increase the size. I'm just theorizing on bug design of course... :)
The power supply was a considerable source of speculation. If the bug had been attached to the battery, then it would have been much more detectable. Stories had it that Bell had checked under the hood; it would not take more than a VOM to detect a discharge.
Sure. So if the question is that the bug would beep Gordon when Bell got out of a certain radius, then the car was running, hence you wouldn't have to drain the battery constantly. And they claim the bug was constantly transmitting. That's a pretty stupid way to implement a bug as at that point you could sweep for it. But who knows what kind of spread spectrum send a burst/chirp for 1ms every two minutes kind of bug it would be? :)
There was no discussion of military bits vs. civilian bits, rather military grade vs. civilian grade.
Um, yes, military grade versus civilian grade GPS. My question now is are the bits of mil GPS info transmitted at the same frequencies as the civilian bits of data which are randomized? If they're different, then a GPS jammer would have to spit junk out on both sets.
If you weren't on the radar before, you are now.
So are you planning on rooming with Jim or C.J.?
Guy gets out of bar slurring his speech, scrambles around walking out of balance. Goes to his car after many burps and hicckups, tries to insert his key into the lock and misses several times, gets it open, turns on the engine and starts to drive. Cop pulls him over, administers breathalizer test. Cop is surprised to find the guy has a blood alcohol level of zero. "How's that possible he asks the guy?" Guy answers "I'm tonight's designated decoy." (This was a cartoon somewhere.) So, yeah, I'm tonight's designated decoy. Let the feds monitor me scratching my butt, watching cartoons and burping, while the next Jim Bell does whatever it is he is doing. :) I suppose they could charge me with wasting taxpayer money, but hey, I didn't invent that racket. -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.
