Would a scanner be able to pick up Palin's wire?

[ThoughtCriminal]

Assuming they want to try that debate stunt again.

I would assume that they would use something very low power and short range.

Not that anyone in the media or Democratic Party would think of exposing it.

1. I think the implant has already been sewn in. nt

2. You know that would be really hard to verbalize someone else's answers on the

fly like that. I'm not so sure it's doable.

[garlicmilkshake]

14. Exactly. It's VERY difficult to translate audio in the ear to sensible speaking

even by highly intelligent humanoids. :-)

3. Not likely unless you are the NSA.....spread spectrum fequency hoppers are almost...

impossible to crack without serious hardware.

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. So they aren't getting the hardware from Radio Shack?

too bad.

8. Actually, Bluetooth Fits The Bill Nicely

It uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum, low power, and some versions have good range. And yo can get it from Radio Shack!

BTW - do you know who invented FHSS? If you don't, you're in for a BIG surprise.

5. My fantasy is that somehow we could insert a high-pitched, loud screech. :-) nt

6. Just wish there was some way to jam it

And watch the disaster happen.

9. I doubt they will try to wire her

She'd just get confused. Voices coming in from all directions. Overload her circuits. Does not compute. Does not compute. "I can see Russia from my house!!!"

The mind to nowhere couldn't handle it.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

11. Oh fuck, she's been hearing voices for years.

nt

[Mz Pip]

13. Yeah and now

she'll have to answer them. She'll get confused. Is this a voice from God? Is it the voice of my handler? Is it the voice of Gwen Ifill? Is Satan talking to me? Is it the ghost of a dinosaur roaring in my ear?

This could be quite entertaining. The audience will have to guess which voice she is answering to.

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. It would take a little practice

First to get her used to the idea that the voice is not God.

Second, not to shift her eyes while receiving.

Third, finding anybody trustworthy in the Republican party that can make any sense.

17. You will know that they wired her when

she starts to hear "voices" and calls for her Kenyan witch hunting pastor to come on stage and save her!!!

[Gore1FL]

10. If they wire her, I'd think the most fun would be to...

..send a stronger signal with bizarre talking points.

[Incitatus]

15. Make her pull a Ron Burgundy

[Fumesucker]

16. If I was going to do something like that..

I'd probably avoid RF altogether and use IR..

Combine IR with spread spectrum and you'd have a system that would be very hard to detect.

Although when the voices in her earpiece heterodyne with the voice of the Baby Jeebus in her head, there's no telling what Palin is likely to start babbling.
