What's really interesting is that he claims the German TLAs have a new round of strong evidence showing that there's a nuke buried in Houston somewhere that's going to be set off on 12/27. He's tied in all sorts of shadowy agencies along with internal politcs causing the info not to be acted upon.
Even that would be worthy of ignoring, but he's actually told this story extremely well, naming fairly obscure (but real) names in the intelligence community and so on. The guy's posts have actually made some serious waves on a bunch of boards.
Me? I suspect he just pulled all this shit from David Emory's shows and then added some nice google tech searches. WiFi I know was cracked wide open a while back, and that wasn't exactly a secret (it's the reason for 802.11x). BUT, add knowledge of this to the conspiracy theories to the politics and you have a guy who has gone to great lengths to create an excellent hoax. Indeed, one can only imagine that the reason for something like this has to go way beyond mere hoaxing (eg, the guy's a neo-Nazi?)
I was hoping someone knew about this and had already hacked this hoax, because so far I haven't seen anything that conclusively debunks this guy.

The official record right now is 1.74 km:

No doubt you can do much better with a large dish, and good alignment, as well as a clear line of sight.

Bluetooth attacks aren't exactly new. No idea what else that tinfoil-hatted person is spouting.
