President elections are protected With Jammers
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as usual some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact 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 vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. So some political parties decided to place small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop 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 only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
