I wish I could remember more details, but about 10 years ago a UCSD professor did a statistical analysis of how often "creationism" and "intelligent design" where mentioned in news articles over time. The results was that use of the word "creationism" dove-tailed right into use of the term "intelligent design" right at the same time that teaching creationism in public schools was loosing ground in the courts. Basically, "intelligent design" was just a marketing ploy to extend the life of teaching creationism in schools. A "Creationism 2.0" if you will.

Now will someone please explain to me how "someone" can collect on a trade and have it totally anonymous and untraceable?

For example, does anyone remember the millions of dollars in put options on airline stocks that were placed just before 9/11 (also placed at the Chicago Exchange)? Somehow investigators couldn't figure out who placed those orders. Last I heard the orders were traced back to an investment bank that CIA director Alvin Krongard had been chairman of. Then the investigations mysteriously ended with no one arrested and no one named as the person that placed the order. How is it possible for an order to be some untraceable?

FYI, GlobalStar was a low earth orbit satellite communication system. Same CDMA signal, but different RF bands, higher power levels (about 5W max), and usually connected to multiple satellites simultaneously (instead of connecting to multiple cell towers simultaneously, which is typical for CDMA cell phones).

But I get what you are saying. It is true that there was some concern about radio interference in the past. But it hasn't been for at least a decade now. And speaking of close to the ground, even when AMPS phones were the thing, there was coverage at airports. So there would have been the potential for radio interferences even from people that weren't passengers on the planes.
