only 150 dB? that's plenty to cause irreversable damage.

That was a good attempt at spinning mrcaseyj's statement, but you fell short.

You know what he was saying is that the only place the device reaches the level of 150 dB is in a one meter range.

Not that 150 dB is a low amount.

The evidence is in the next statement of "The sound level will drop off rapidly according to the inverse square law as you get farther away"

But I have a suspicion that you are the type to not care about what the truth is, only how it can be twisted to fit whatever cause of the moment you are fighting for.

Well, the US side of the border now wants to search "laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and any other electronics on your person or in your vehicle", as described in the article.

What we want on our side of the border is for our authorities to enforce our own gun laws and stop and search people coming from the US into Mexico.

So what you are saying is.... It will not stop the gun runners, you were just being (A. sensationalist; B. off topic; C. dumb). pick one.

The real difference is going to be when you cross the border driving. There's been waaay too many documented cases of people buying guns (and I mean big guns, like assault rifles) legally in the US with their God-given 2nd ammendment right and smuggling them to the drug cartels here.

Searching "laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and any other electronics on your person or in your vehicle" will stop the gun runners how?.....

it's because they've got a large number of armed goons at their disposal and you have nothing.

This made me think of V (from V for vendetta) passing the DHS check point...

DHS: "Bollocks. What you gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns."
V: "No, what you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty, I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded."

Now that i would like to see

The short and simple solution to this problem is to do what your Grandad did in 1950 and his Grandad in 1925:

You spring for a good external antenna - and you install it by-the-book.

Exactly! go here and find out what direction your antenna should point, and what kind of antenna you need. then get a Lensatic compass ! climb up on your roof and get to work!

It is not hard at all.

note: it appears that TVfool's web-servers have been turned in to molten slag by people preparing for the switch to DTV, give them a few days to cry and they will be back
