Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as usual some candidates tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even illegal ones . 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. The thing is that this technique has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus several political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
