US military punks your garage door opener

Garage Door

The US military has declared war on your garage door opener. At least sort of. If you live close to a military base, you might come home one day to discover that your automatic garage door opener doesn't work anymore, since between now and 2008 the military is implementing a new radio communication system that just happens to use the same frequency as the one used by something like 90% of garage door clickers (to be fair, the military has owned that slice of the spectrum for over 50 years, and just hadn't decided to use it until now). The best part about the military potentially punking thousands or even tens of thousands of people is that they probably won't even know what the hell is going on, and will assume they've got a dead battery or a defective unit on their hands before they'll suspect that they're just the victim of RF interference.
