So once upon a time, I was stumbling around ebay and saw either a jammer or plans to build one. The idea sounded cool - a little device you could turn on at the movies and prevent assholes from spoiling the experience. A little more digging found them to be illegal. In fact, most countries have outlawed them. There are safety concerns that they'd interfere with pacemakers, and, because they broadcast radio waves, they're subject to FCC laws in the US to some degree, so are on a level with pirate radio. I wonder if there are unspoken reasons for the bannings and harsh penalties, like interfering with official communications of police and fire, etc.
Anyone have any experience with these things? Documented cases of someone being hurt because of one being used? Or someone caught using one?
The subject fasicnates me.

I dunno if it is worth fritzing out a guy's pacemaker just so I can watch a movie in peace...

Yeah, but you know as soon as a cell phone got jammed, the person violating the movie code would just stand up be make noise some other way.Originally Posted by Rob_Ellis

An asshole is as an asshole does.
Plus, you know, no one in the theater could dial 9-1-1 to save the guy, either. You'd have to wait until a theater employee arrived on the scene and then made his way back to a land line somewhere to call an ambulance...
I don't think;therefore, I am an asshole?
