Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. But this method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus several political parties decided to place small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all these bands but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
