Man, I’d love to bring one of these mobile phone jamming devices into the movie theater with me. I’m getting tired of all the rude jackasses who don’t mute their phone, or even take calls, during the middle of movies. Of course, as this WSJ article notes, such devices violate FCC rules and would disrupt all sorts of beneficial uses. (The company is apparently trying to get them authorized for use in prisons to disable smuggled-in phones from being used and creating problems).
Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to keep throwing popcorn at those idiots in the theater until they shut their pie holes.
