Comment on Electronic devices or 'signal jammers' used in car thefts to be banned

The article seems very non-technical. From what I read about the Flipper Zero, Playback attacks aren’t supposed to work on modern cars that use rolling codes. The only way the attack can work is if you intercept the signal from the keyfob while also preventing the keyfob’s signal from reaching the car. Much easier said than done.

Grab some keys out a bag in the office while the owner isn’t looking.
Grab a code (it’s out of vehicle range, being inside).
Go to the car park, replay the code and loot the car.
You’d be caught quickly, but it’s doable.
