I just saw National Geographic Channel’s “Iraq’s Guns for Hire”. One of the points made on IED’s (improvised explosive devices), was that they are often set off using a cell phone signal or even a garage door opener signal. These devices have killed over 1,000 coalition and supporting forces. If this is the case, wouldn’t it be possible to have our troops vehicles equipped with a signal generating device (radio & cell waves, etc.) to set these explosives off ~100 yards in front of our troops before they get there? Obviously, we would have to make sure there were no other coalition forces in front of the vehicle, but still a way to have them go off away from their intended target. Maybe we can have them go off as the insurgents are setting these things up. What do you think? Can this work? The NG program will air again on Jan 29th and Feb 4th.
