Cell Phone Jammers: Coming To An Event Near You?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-I-have-one-on-movie-theaters dept.

DarwinDan writes "The L.A. Daily News has an article about Cell phone jamming to prevent terrorists from detonating bombs remotely. Jamming technology is already being used "to protect President Bush." An interesting quote from the article: "Public safety is more important than public convenience.""

  1. I want one! by Kjuib · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't have a cell phone, and I find most people really rude with them. For some reason people thing the phone takes priority over people who are right in front of you. (and some people just yell into their phone - Thats Annoying!) So, I want a jammer to carry around with me, so I don't have to put up with other people's phones. There is an Interesting Question? Do I not have the right to peace and quiet?
