Why do they need permission to block (electronically jam) cellphone calls? Just put up a sign at the entrance advising patrons that their phones will be inoperable in the theater. That way, the customers can decide whether or not they wish to see the movie with that policy as a condition.

Anyone who considers himself so indispensable to society that being out of phone contact for a couple of hours is unthinkable probably shouldn't be watching a flick anyway. I am unaware of any constitutional right to see a movie. This reminds me of the couple (on another FR thread) who threatened to sue the San Francisco 49ers because they objected to being searched upon entering the stadium. If you don't like the policies of a private business, then don't patronize it!

I look forward to the development of pocket-sized, affordable cellphone jammers. I'll buy one and take it with me everywhere. Think of the peace and quiet at bars and restaurants, theaters, golf courses, cars, and office meetings.

The C Guard by Netline is one of several available.

Agreed! These people in the ER will die quite peaceful deaths when the surgeon you're jamming never gets his page.

It is currently illegal to jam signals in the United States.

See here: http://www.grandtrades.net/GT50.htm

Kind of pricy at $399.00 but if you are up for it, order one, try it out and get back to us.

Why don't you just tell people what to do in person now? Could it be that you are too scared what they might say or do to someone who considers himself so indispensible to society as the source of all that is socially acceptable?

When you are using that device, make sure you bring your checkbook. You'll need it for bail.
