If your garage doors open the terrorists win!

Or close. Whatever. Either way. But don't worry - the Pentagon is on the case.
All over the United States, garage door openers have gone bonkers ... and it's all the fault of the U.S. Military!

The Government Accountability Office in Washington released the results of a special investigation on Thursday, saying the cause of thousands of garage-door mishaps is a new military radio system apparently used all over the country.

In a colossal screw-up only the Pentagon could pull off, the new Land Mobile Radio units operate on the same frequencies as most garage-door openers.

OK, worry a little, maybe. But not too much.

I think there's a "when I was a kid" story that goes with this one....

Well, yeah, that was Columbus. The neighborhood was right under the flight path for one of the airport runways and every time a plane went over the garage doors all went up. It was pretty spectacular. But then they changed all the frequencies and ruined the whole effect.
