Stop Cell Phones Without Stopping Pacemakers...
metoikos writes "A company based in Fairfax, Virginia, has come up with a subtler method of
preventing cell-phone addicts from using the world as a phone booth than a faraday cage or even those little hand-held jammers.
Cell Block Technologies (that name must go over well with law enforcement) is developing a smoke-detector sized device which sends signals of 'no service' to cellphone frequencies, prompting phone to send calls directly to voicemail.
Admittedly this is better than messing with everything that uses the same frequencies cellphones do . "

Only on /. would a comment like that be modded "4, Informative".
But then again, the person you are talking to in the car should also be fearing for their life and help watch the road
Tell that to Tony Soprano when he was in the car with Adreana and she yells about the racoon in the road. If she wasn't there he would have just run over it, instead of rolling his car...and I've gone way way off topic now.....
