Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to prosperity and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” 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. But 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. New equipment allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. So several political forces started 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” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for 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 cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is highly 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 phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
