Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was forbidden. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. But 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 technique made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret tools. So several political forces decided to place small secret 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 mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
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 winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
