Wouldn't we all! Unfortunately:

"Anyone caught manufacturing, selling, owning, or using a jammer in
the U.S. is punishable by an $11,000 fine and up to a year in prison
for each offense."

Have a good attorney on retainer.

nb

That's really funny because the people who sell the cellphone jammers
have revealed the fact that their biggest customers are US government
agencies Federal, state and local. I would get a small one to switch
on and off whenever some rude asshole makes inappropriate use of their
cellphone because the importance of emergency calls concerns me. I would
hate to be responsible for interfering with an emergency call to a
doctor or someone who's job is to protect people. Those type folks will
excuse themselves and go to a quiet area to carry on a conversation. I
can usually tell who the rude, mindless, selfish jerks are so I would
enjoy a small jammer to mess with them by making their calls drop off.

OR. OR OR they could just pick up a DAMN corded phone and use it. We did
just fine without cell phones.


The house phone is usually out in the lobby but I know that in the more
exclusive restaurants, the waiter would bring a phone to a patron. I've
never seen a corded phone brought to someone in a theater or movie. The
people with class know how to act with a cellphone and will go to the
lobby to use their cellphone.

TDD


no one in a theater NEEDs outgoing OR incoming phone calls.
