Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, 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 method has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus several political forces decided to set small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes cell phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is very compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, blockers 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 school exams. What’s next?
