Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as always some political parties tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even illegal ones . In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods 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, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret tools. So several political forces started to place small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for 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 prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you 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 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
