Come in Team 3- Drek! we got a dead zone, low tech security Options

Has anyone tried this yet? with the improved hacking in 4th ed the decker is finally more than the tag along for a team. but with the increased dependance on the net, a team is more vulnerable to a dead zone.

Now in eds 1 through 32 high tech stuff was stored off the grid meaning a penetration of the faiclity. so now in 4th ed could a corp create a blocked zone by trnasmitting a jammer? Yeah this would take their sec teams off line too but they could train for it and use hard wired phone lines to keep in touch, something the team might not even think of looking for.

Then again a cunning team might track down a big score by looking for such a dead zone. If they can overwealm the jamming would that show up to the sec teams showing they'd been breached?

I got the idea of thins watching the pilot of BSG. A tour guide comments that the Gallactica is an old ship with hard wired phone communication etc, The fact her systems weren't heavily networked was one of the reasons she was able to resist the cylon virus that crippled most of the lfeet.
