President elections are protected With Jammers
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, 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. The thing is that this method has one big 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. New technique made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gadgets. Thus several political parties 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” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those bands but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
