Can I get one that is set up to only jam Obama phones. I'm getting tired of people talking on those (acting like they have alot going on in their lives) when they are in line buying steak, ribs and salmon with their EBT (eatin' better today) cards.
What is an Obama phone?

They are frequently held at the top of the caller's lungs. There's a woman in a coffee shop I frequent. I don't think she has any idea HOW EFFING LOUD SHE TALKS WHEN SHE'S ON THE PHONE.

Worst people in the world.

If I'm sitting close enough to your seat, I find it much more distracting. My brain wants to fill in the other half of the conversation. I'm a writer. I love listening to dialog, and when the friend with whom you're conversing isn't sitting next to you, something's missing, and my brain can't stand it. It has to look for what's missing or create its own version. In either case, it means far too much time spent listening to you.

If someone else uses a jammer to silence some shrieking cellphone mess, he is satisfying many others' "selfish desires," not just his own.

Either way you're wrong--if you answer "yes," then basically you're ok with someone breaking the law being a vigilante because they think it's OK to play God and appoint themselves as the train conductor basically. If you answer "no," you're advocating bigotry as I explained earlier.
"Bigotry"? You get so overworked, so angry, especially for a "shyguy."
Just recently I was almost in an accident yet again with some ditz on a phone, it's certainly not a fight the guy on the phone was going to win considering my work truck is about 20 tons. Jammers should be mandatory in cars, people are too dumb to just turn them off. You should see what I see on I-5, DAILY.
I'm really tired of all the aspiring Darwin Award winners out there endangering others.
Kudos to this guy for trying and just why in the hell are the authorities even wasting money and time on this guy?

Yep.
We have a lot of cell phone addicts and it's just getting worse and worse.
So many of these kids have had a device in their hands since they were 2....and they're already seeing serious mental\social development problems as a result.

It's still selfish. But who cares if a mom is trying to get through to her child's babysitter, or if a employer is calling a job candidate back or if a nurse is calling a patient about a lab result, or if someone is calling a loved one to give them directions for a meet up, etc.
I don't notice this phenomena that seems to bother so many people, either because I'm young or because I don't go around with my nose up other people's...yeah.

Probably what they would have done before cellphones, i.e., wait until they got off the train to conduct either business or pleasure. If you're shrieking into a phone, I really couldn't care less about your issue. And btw, it's not just young people who are cellphone a'holes. The most arrogant, self-entitled person I know when it comes to cellphone rudeness is 68 years old.
If you want to chastise someone, ATG5, run your mouth at your compadres who can't keep their volume down. They're the "selfish" ones in any cellphone scenario.

I really don't need to respond to this nonsense beyond what I put in bold. You're just as bad as those cell phone users, and you don't even know it.
It's already been said, but a jammer on public transportation or just in public would interfere with people around it. But then again, who cares about that, right?
Compadres? I don't know the people who are talking on their phones and I don't care.

Except you left out the important part of the sentence. Here's the whole thing, incomplete-information provider: "If you're shrieking into a phone, I really couldn't care less about your issue."

Trust me, sweetie. I never get on a bus without my headphones. Way too many people like you out there. Way too many.

Guess what, cell phones were invented because a lot of us appreciate NOT having to wait until someone ELSE thinks it's OK in their Miss Manners Manual to handle life. It's called convenience. In my view, convenience trumps pretty much everything.
Yes, we "got along fine" without cell phones. So what. We also "got along fine" with horses and buggies, dying from polio before the shot was created, lack of air conditioning, lack of online banking, no eBay, dying of "gangrene" infections on a large scale--any number of things.
If someone is loud, someone is loud, that's fine to argue they shouldn't be. It has nothing to do with phones, though. I've heard plenty of loud people where phones had nothing to do with it. That a phone was or wasn't involved is totally irrelevant to anyone but a bigot.
Have you ever been on a train? I haven't in years, and only have a few times, but Chicago's El spends a lot of time within 3 feet of buildings - businesses, apartments, etc. The walls of the trains and of those buildings don't stop cell reception, so why do you think they'll magically stop a jammer? They won't. The self-absorbed jammer you admire so much won't have any idea if there's an emergency situation going on outside the train but within range of the jamming device.
Of course. Because the passive-aggressive control freaks are too gutless to do anything but hide as they break the law in pursuit of their it's-all-about-me idiocy.
How would feel if you found out someone died because of the little stunt Nicholl pulled? Is he still your hero, Don?
