Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as always some candidates did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this technique has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment allowed a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. So some political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all these bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
