Mobile phone could launch a missile attack

One of our boms is chaffing

Chaffing bad idea


Don't use wifi around RAF Mildenhall either

Making a mobile phone call in Suffolk could potentially prove lethal thanks to the US Airforce, reports Tony Dennis in Mobile Insight magazine

A missing 'chaff' bomb could be triggered by any RF transmitting device – including a mobile phone.  
The one-of-our-bombs-is-missing admission was made at the beginning of the week by a spokesperson for the US Airforce based at Mildenhall who said that an MC130H aircraft had lost the bomb. Chaff bombs are used to confuse enemy radar screens by exploding metal shrapnel (chaff) into the air. Helpfully, the device has the word 'danger' in great big letters on the side, so it should be easily identifiable. "Do not use any electrical transmitting devices, such as mobile phones, within 35 feet (10 metres) of the item," the spokesperson advised. It's probably not a good idea to be using a Wi-fi enabled laptop near the device, either.
