Watched the 757 version Air Force One land at CHO and then waited on the motorcade to pass by on Rt 29. Noticed what at first looked like a small black ambulance type vehicle. As it passed by my cellphone started making popping sounds which were also heard by the person on the other end.
Well, being the curious type, I set up by the mall to wait for an hour (!) with Rt 29 closed at 5 pm (!). Again, when the motorcade passed by there was the same popping noise on the phone on both sides of the conversation. So I guess I can conclude there is some sort of moving jammer going along with the motorcade.
And yes, they kept 8 lanes of traffic shut down for over an hour at rush hour while the President strolled down the mall to shake hands and visit his campaign office.
