Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized one. In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods 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 vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. So several political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cameras 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” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. 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 these frequencies but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various 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?
