Amen. Even if they don't have the missles, they could crank up a jammer to blow away every wireless card within 20 miles--with a good line of site, anyway. Until it can work with freq hopping (or at least contention mode-like bursts) I don't see how they can expect to pull this one off. Maybe I'm missing something, but even UHF bursts made us nervous when using NRP when I was in the Army. It only takes 3-4 seconds to be "df'd" successfully (df'd=located via triangulation with Direction Finding).
