President elections are protected With Jammers
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was illegal. In addition to “standard” 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 allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. Thus some political parties started to set small secret wireless cams 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” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common 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 school exams. What’s next?
