...bombings coincided with Parliamentary consideration of a bill to free the police from ordinary legal restraint when tracking down Irish terrorists. Although 66 I.R.A. volunteers have been sentenced to prison, the police have had difficulty making a legal case against men they suspect of plotting more outrages.

Frequency modulation can be described as changing the length of the radio wave. Amplitude modulation changes the wave's strength. Interference noises can simulate amplitude modulation and therefore disturb signals broadcast by this system, but they do not simulate frequency modulation. Thus frequency-modulated signals skip neatly past the interference, whether lightning bolt or icebox motor. One catch is that ultrashort wave length of limited range must be used...
