Vigilante jamming cell phone calls on city buses to help preserve peace and quiet | Technology News Blog - Yahoo! News

Personally, if he does this ONLY when people are loud and obnoxious on the phone, I like it. I know it's against the law but who hasn't been next to some inconsiderate loudmouth jerk blabbing on the phone?

for about a year I traveled between houston and denver weekly.
I came VERY close to buying one just for the airport waiting area.

Some people are too stupid to be out in public.

If he did it to me I'd confiscate his jammer. He wants peace and quiet taking a ****ing car.

People still talk on their cell phones? I usually see them staring on the screen as if the world around them did not exist.

Are you one of those loud-mouthed jerks who insist on entertaining the entire crowd with your worthless telephone conversations?

If so, you're more despised than you think you are.

Funny, but true. I guess anyone who talks on the phone would be considered loud in comparison.

The commuter line I travel on tells people to turn off their cell phones while on the bus. Most do and the bus is a quiet place to read, compute or just sleep.

I like the idea of a jammer. I wonder if there is one that would simply scramble which caller was hooked to which receiver. That would make some of the conversations a bit more interesting.

Well, if you were talking with a reasonable volume then I would support you. However, if you were a loudmouth I would support the guy jamming the phone (even though it's illegal).

I do agree though if the guy wants complete quiet, he should drive his own car.

there is definitely a public movement against cell phones. we have made ourselves too accessible. we need to deal well with the people around us in the present instead of those we just left. then we wont have to call them.
