Dear patient readers,<\/p>\n
I hope you can provide input on some iPhone anomalies. <\/p>\n
1. I bought a Faraday bag for my phone since I have long known that switching it to Airplane Mode and then off is still less than perfect protection. However, I just got a text beep while the phone was in the Faraday bag (Airplane Mode off) and properly sealed. I was worried that a Faraday bag would not work as advertised and I managed to buy a Faraday fail.<\/p>\n
How do I get a reliable Faraday bag? They are get good reviews so it\u2019s not as if I can verify them that way. <\/p>\n
2. I have also had the phone get texts when in Airplane Mode (this was Bolt with what they considered to be an urgent matter). I verified that it was in Airplane Mode yet a second text arrived very shortly thereafter. I read later that this could happen if you have WiFi calling turned on but I never can be bothered so it is always off. So this was a creepy anomaly, sort of like Bolt breaking into my phone. <\/p>\n

I had an argument over my earlier recollection that Wilkerson had estimates wounded in action in Lebanon (as in JUST Lebanon) at 4,000. A reader disputed that. Starting at 21:20, using a fresh Haaretz report that the IDF deaths in Lebanon have now reached 800 and using our killed in action v. wounded in action ratio from Afghanistan and Iraq (as in with access to good field hospitals; Israel is sure to have better access to actual hospitals) of 1:11 and 1:12, the wounded in action in Lebanon has to be at least 8,000, which is massive for Israel. <\/p>\n Israel and Silkwood: Like the JFK and RFK Assassinations, Is the Israel Connection Again Being Avoided?<\/a> Sam Husseini.
