Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some candidates 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 ways 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. The thing is that this technique 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. Today’s technique made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. So several political forces decided to set small secret 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 support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
