Can anyone at Wash U monitor radio frequencies?

[TheZug]

So they can pick up what Palin's handlers will be feeding into her earpiece?

1. They need to jam those frequencies.

3. To hell with jamming.

Record to prove they're cheating.

Then transmit false info.

4. You mean transmit this:

When the McCain/Palin administration takes over, "the official language of the US will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!"

2. Monitoring RF frenquencies would prolly bring Secret Service a runnin'

The Secret Service wear earpieces, the moderator will be wearing an earpiece, it's just not practical to even think about monitoring the RF frequencies.

5. Don't know much about radio, but isn't that what scanners do? n/t

[Youphemism]

6. They can't detect monitoring -- only jamming...

They might catch monitoring equipment if they do a metal detector sweep of audience members, but they can't detect someone passively listening for radio signals.

They *could* detect the signal from the person broadcasting to Palin, but might not, especially if the McCain campaign is smart and masks it by broadcasting using cell phone/blackberry technology.

7. But can she formulate a sentence & listen to advice at the same time?

I don't think she's bright enough to do both at the same time!!!!!
