And the scary thing is that when you find yourself surrounded and all land
lines cut, and you decide to warn off your brother who was coming over for
dinner tonight, they can still suprise him with one of those knock optional
search warrants.
I wonder if you could get around this toy with a directional antenna of
your own and knowledge of where the nearest repeater(s) tower is/are.
Might want to make a test call to a pizza place just to make sure your
getting through, though.
