Holy Cow. Apparently this is old news, but the how-to guide is new. A few years ago, some clever prankster took the time to figure out how to take over the frequencies used by drive-thru intercoms to prank unsuspecting customers of fast food restaurants. I think it's hilarious, but the how-to is dangerous. You can literally take a simple component (a crystal) from any modern toaster and use it to replace the crystal in a cheap CB radio to produce a device capable of causing much havoc. While public frequencies like these are shared, I'm sure there are laws against intentionally interfering and worse, impersonating the employees. Sounds like fun to me in moderation. Now that this video is out, I'm sure we'll begin to see some segments about the threat to our laziness on our local evening news sometime soon. Have fun and be careful.
