CellAntenna to FCC: "Let's Jam!"


http://firechief.com/news/cell_jamming_06182007/

CellAntenna
actually sells a line of cellular jamming devices that are not currently legal in the US unless you work for the Feds. (note the domain name shift - they can sell these in Europe). Of course the primary justification for selling these is to help first responders block remote bomb detonation.

Informal polling in Austin has shown that 100% of respondents are against remote bomb detonation by cellular phone so I think the public is behind the idea in that respect. The problem is that pretty soon these are appearing in restaurants and symphonies and once that happens, how long is it until some joker starts jamming the wireless microphones at your local karaoke bar?
