Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as always some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unauthorized ones . In addition to “standard” ways 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 technique has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus several political parties started to place small secret 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” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all these frequencies but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
