Or more simply, more people fall for the right's propaganda than the
left's.

Well, it'll be the cable TV guy that misses an important call while at
ur restaurant, gets suspicious, fires up his spectum analyzer and
figures out whats going on. Then he'll turn ur ass in to the FCC, and,
like I said, the fines start at $10,000.

About how Clinton eavesdropped on MILLIONS of domestic US communications.

Some people have odd definitions of "torture".

Just paint the walls with aluminized paint,and apply metallized tinted film
to the windows.

Considering you would have to use broadband noise to jam cellphones(the
entire band),I wonder if a SA would show much,especially to a "cable TV
guy".
Most are lucky they know how to use a cable meter.
And how's is the "cable guy" going to know if the restaurant is not in a
dead zone,or has passive shielding?

Strange,it seems the opposite to me.
The leftists fall for the old Media's garbage much more.
Example:CBS and the faked Bush memos.
Leftists dominate the old Media,and universities.

The jammer is going to emit some power across the broadband spectrum
that is the cell phone band, which the spectrum analyzer is going to
pick up. The "cable guy" is, admittedly, going to be their chief
technician, not just an installer. Or, it could be a 2-way radio tech
- same principle, although it's unknown whether he'll have a spectrum
analyzer available. And the cell phone tower technician that is sent
out to find out why their tower is not working everywhere its supposed
to will have a spectrum analyzer, for sure. Any number of RF savvy
people are definitely going to know that there's enough power being
emitted to swamp the cell phone receiver, and that's all they have to
report to the FCC, who have some pretty sharp engineers of their own
that will come down and figure out some things for themselves.

Nah. But who cares what I think anyhow!!!

Wrong. It is illegal to block cell phone transmissions in the US.
Although you can buy the technology, it is illegal, and possession of
it would not be a good idea. I believe it is covered under ITAR.

Further, hospitals do not block anything except in X-Ray, where the
shielding has more of an effect then intended. I do not believe there
is a single hospital today that does not RELY on the same technology
in cell phones to run their equipment. If there is, I sure as hell
wouldn't step foot in it.

All the signs about not using your CP because it interferes with the
equipment is a lie, although one I support as it tends to keep a small
number of assholes from using CPs in places that should be at least
somewhat free from the annoyance.

Wasn't it a movie about driving? At least that would be something one
could argue is on topic. As I said, though, who cares what I think
about this.

Your cell phone doesn't work, so it must be a conspiracy.
