For reference, ~18 million people live within 35 miles of Manhattan.
"In addition to jamming the cellular network, he said, such a large amount of equipment near the United Nations could be used for eavesdropping."
How could a SIM farm be used for eavesdropping?
How could lots of cellular radios be used to capture data that's in the air?
Yes, this is what I want to know. I didn't think a cell phone (or any number of cell phones) could intercept other phone calls/data. I know a fake cell tower has some capability for that.
Crash the tower (instead of jamming it) and then put up your own fake tower?

It can’t, its a lie.
Explain why it can't please.
It's the wrong hardware for the job. The hardware for eavesdropping masquerades as a tower, not as 64 cell phones. A big sim bank like this is useless for that purpose.
