Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unlawful one. In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved ways 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 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 find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. Thus 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 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 jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers 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 jams all those frequencies but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
