When George W. Bush visits Sydney, Australia later this year, there are plans to block all mobile phone transmissions via special helicopter-mounted equipment. It sounds very stupid to me, especially when the following idea came to mind: the loss of mobile phone coverage in such a densely-populated area can be used as a signal that George Approacheth. When you can detect such a signal with an electronic device, then connect that device to a bomb, you now have, for want of a better phrase, a President-seeking-missile. Do you know where the President's motorcade will be going? No, but that's okay. They're going to broadcast its location by blocking mobile phone traffic.

PPS - So why don't they do this for him all the time in the States?
