Anyone at San Bernardino presser ask how culprits avoided phone location tracking in missing 18 minutes?

@emptywheel@quinnnorton This is from cell site location? Some of that data may not be uniformly reliably logged. -
@mattblaze Just generally. How do you lose track of 18 mins unless they used countersurveillance or already destroyed phones?@quinnnorton -
@emptywheel@quinnnorton I'm not sure what counter-surveillance techniques would work, other than turning off handset or going out of range. -
@mattblaze@emptywheel be neat tho if there was a kind of ping of death or Chernobyl packet you could use to reliably crash tower logging -
@quinnnorton@emptywheel Seems inherently difficult, given that network needs to know where you are to route calls. -
@mattblaze@emptywheel to be clear, i'm not saying this happened or is plausible, just musing on how you could crash a tower from a phone :) -
@quinnnorton@mattblaze Map here (from Mashable) may suggest that's the cell range.pic.twitter.com/G8zZPTLaC3

@emptywheel@mattblaze honestly they probably just turned off their phones.

@emptywheel@mattblaze from a technical pov could it have been on a tower that lost its data somehow?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
