Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. But this method has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. Thus some political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
