Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unlawful one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, 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. But this method 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. New equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. Thus several 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 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 equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those frequencies but also is very compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
