| cell phone jammer |
A Philadelphia man has stirred up controversy after he consistently used a device on a public bus to create a cell phone dead zone. The Philadelphia man named Eric was caught by a local news affiliate using a cell phone jammer to end noisy phone calls on his bus route, and the story has caught fire in the national media. As it turned out, that thing was a cell phone jammer, which is totally illegal. Cellphone signal scramblers are illegal and dangerous.
This is a story from a reader who captured the jammer: “While riding the bus, my cell phone signal suddenly went out, which is not normal, and continued to search for a signal for 15 minutes. After a little while, I noticed that everyone else on the bus on his/her cell was having the same problem. Then, I see this guy (pictured at right). He’s openly holding something that looks like a walkie talkie with four antennae in his hand the whole time. Anytime someone would try their cell again, this guy would subtly turn in their direction, press a button and point it at them, then continue reading his book under his creepy hood.”
