Cell Phone Jammers

In the New York Times, the article describing Jammers used to block out cell phone signals was interesting and something that I had never heard of before. Even though these cell phone devices are illegal in the United States, several are still shipped here over seas. I think that cell phone jammers are irresponsible and not only cut off a single person’s cell phone signal, but any others in a 30 ft. radius.

Jamming cell phones and cutting off people’s single could also be very dangerous in emergency situations. For example, as mentioned in the article, if a criminal obtains a cell jammer he could use it to stop someone from communicating in a crisis.
