Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was forbidden. In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved ways 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. The thing is that this technique has serious disadvantage, voter may 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 spy gadgets. Thus some political parties decided to set small secret wireless cams 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” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all those bands but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
