[BC] dropped cell signal to laptop

[Wrx]

During the 2004 process, I was a volunteer for the Republican party for the 
Presidental visit, (Farmington,N.M.)
as well as the V.P. visit, (visits seperated by a couple of weeks), when ALL 
cellphone activity was jammed,
(unmarked 18ft. van/truck), for several hours prior to and at least an hour 
following the events within about a 1/2 mile
circumference from the event sites. Cell operators had nothing to do with 
it.

Al Gore.
