Are pagers, walky talkies and other vintage technology particularly at risk?

If so I’m a bit worried about my theremin, but then I haven’t touched it in years.

EVs. If terrorists could do this much damage with pagers, imagine cars. That's why the state wants to ban parts from the alt-empire. The terrorist attacks on Lebanon are a major wake up call for lots of people.

It's another example of how car dependency is a complete societal failure.
