I have taken this from a dodgy conspiracy site but my interest was origionally caught by a radio interview with a expert last night who said some thing very similar, doesn't seem to be any decent sources to back it up yet though.
9/11 proved that people can physically make and receive calls so signal isn't an issue. Amd what terrorist is going to detonate a bomb over an ocean?
