[FedCom] Garage door opener jamming in Texas now blamed on the NSA?

[lists]

I wonder if they were testing IED triggers? Any details on this?
Looking around the internet, this was blamed on the usual 380-400MHz
trunk systems, but maybe there was more to this.

AMY GOODMAN: Talk about the beginning of this piece. "In January 2010,
numerous homeowners in San Antonio, Texas, stood baffled in front of
their closed garage doors." Take it from there, Glenn. Glenn, are you
still with us? We may have just lost Glenn. I’ll just read a little
more, until we reconnect with Glenn.

“In January 2010, numerous homeowners in San Antonio, Texas, stood
baffled in front of their closed garage doors. They wanted to drive to
work or head off to do their grocery shopping, but their garage door
openers had gone dead, leaving them stranded. No matter how many times
they pressed the buttons, the doors didn’t budge. The problem primarily
affected residents in the western part of the city, around Military
Drive and the interstate highway known as Loop 410.

“In the United States, a country of cars and commuters, the mysterious
garage door problem quickly became an issue for local politicians.
Ultimately, the municipal government solved the riddle. Fault for the
error lay with the United States’ foreign intelligence service, the
National Security Agency, which has offices in San Antonio. Officials
at the agency were forced to admit that one of the NSA’s radio antennas
was broadcasting at the same frequency as the garage door openers.
Embarrassed officials at the intelligence agency promised to resolve
the issue as quickly as possible, and soon the doors began opening
again.

"It was thanks to the garage door opener episode that Texans learned
just how far the NSA’s work had encroached upon their daily lives. For
quite some time now, the intelligence agency has maintained a branch
with around 2,000 employees at Lackland Air Force Base, also in San
Antonio."

For weeks residents on the northwest side of San Antonio have been having problems with garage door openers.

For what seemed like no reason, the openers quit working one day and even after a change of batteries wouldn't work again.

After several calls to police, fire, the military and even the city, residents became frustrated.

Then, the veil lifted: Uncle Sam was causing the problems.

The federal government has been operating a Land Mobile Radio system at
7700 Potranco Road.
