Apparently very do-able, is done and sadly is also used by terror groups as well.
In simplest form it mimics a mobile communications base station and most cellphones in close proximity pick up its signal automatically and then the rest I don’t have to tell you becomes simple.

Makes me wonder why all the fuss over phone hacking just now.
Oh – almost forgot – they tested it in ‘isolated conditions’. I wonder where they went to be clear of radio signals?
And of course they’re only doing it (on behalf of our various totally trustworthy governments) to warn us all of what might be – or IS – possible – so that’s all right isn’t it?
Sorry… is my cynicism showing?
