It would be very interesting to be able to reproduce that happening and be able to test what it does and does not "detect".
I would imagine that foreign terrorists would speak in their native language. Any sophisticated terrorist would use code-words (Get on the train and trigger the Goat). Does the system pick up if you spell out a word?
It's certainly possible but there's not much reason why the phone calls would consistently drop unless that was their method of preventing terrorist activity.
It's known that all calls around the president are monitored for X miles, so the technology is certainly in place and in use.
