Any idea how to get a few past customs? (http://www.espow.com/wholesale-mobile-phone-signal-jammer-supporting-typical-coverage-15m.html)

Looks like they are stateside so they are already past customs.

The guy's a passive aggressive *expletive deleted*bag.  He doesn't have the stones to confront someone using their phones legally, so he has to break the law and avoid confrontation.

I've never understood why some people get so torqued off at a loud person on a cellphone in a public space (ie bus, not a library, movie theater, museum, etc), but aren't as bothered by two people having a similar loud conversation in the same locale.

I'd hate to be, oh, I don't know...recieving an emergency phone call about a loved one being in the hospital when this jerk turns the jammer on.

I'd really like a jammer to knock the <expletive> idiots off their <expletive> phones when they're supposed to be driving their <expletive> car, but cutting off their calls would probably make them devote even less attention to their driving as they try to re-establish a connection while careening down the road.  :mad:

Yeah, as much as this excites my inner passive aggressive vigilante it is illegal for a good reason.

Now... a device that would temporarily disable somebody's car stereo if it is over X db would be great.  Just as passive aggressive but no public safety concerns.

The devices are legal to have, just not legal to import (import laws) or use (FCC regs).

Personally, I've known some very handy situations to have cell or GPS jammers. Very handy when a stalker installs a bug on a lady's car.

For the really obnoxious conversations, just sit nearby and conspicuously take notes about the conversation.   :lol:

I'd love for someone to jam his jammer up his ass.

He doesn't know what some one's conversation is about. He doesn't know if someone is waiting on an important call. He doesn't know that there isn't an emergency call trying to come through for someone. Passive aggressive douchebaggery, nothing more.

I'm often on call for work. When there's a serious water leak, every minute delayed in stopping it can be thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. If I wasn't alerted to a leak and able to talk the security guards through shutting it off because of some coward on a bus it could result in a huge and unecessary monetary loss.

Not to mention the doctors who are on call, people waiting for a woman to go into labor etc.

I'm of two minds about the usage of the device.  But I think a lot of people are overestimating the number of conversations that are important AND loud and obnoxious.  I've never heard someone loudly discussing a work issue or family emergency.  I have heard many people loudly discussing their boyfriend or their date last night or what have you.

Exactly. You could be unaware of the important calls you may be cutting off. Especially if its range extends to someone in the car right outside your bus window.

And the ones you possibly didn't hear?

whats really needed is when you're in a traffic jam with a jerk who thinks everyone in a one mile radius needs to listen to thumps and rhymes of some gangsta jackwagon, in this situation whats needed is a stereo jammer.

Those turds tend to be playing a CD or mp3. No real way to jam that though the speach jammer previously discussed might be useful.

HERF or directional EMP, only way.  Well, other than cops writing them a ticket.

Eavesdropping sucks when you only get half the conversation.  :P

True.  I discovered that when I found out one of my general coverage receivers could pick up local cordless phone conversations.  (When cordless phones ran just below the 160M band on one of the duplex frequencies.)

The way things are going nowadays, I almost expect one kind or another of inconsiderate behavior almost wherever I go, whatever I'm doing. 

Talk about "throwing the first stone," though, I got "talked to" once when we first had speakerphones installed at work and I didn't realize how my two-way conversation was disturbing other people.  Duh.  Just didn't think of that.

I also have to suppress talking to myself when I'm wrestling with a problem.

More and more I discover that my mother was wrong.

I am not perfect, as she thought.

I purposely talk loud on the handset, and even our fancy wireless digital headsets, and on my speakerphone at work on purpose.

I'm pretty sure it's keeping me in my rather private corner of our building with a window, otherwise my management has made some noises about relocating me to a spot I'd find much less desirable.
