[LINK] phone jammers

[anthony hornby]

Using jamming devices like this is irresponsible as well as illegal  -
mobile phones have many legitimate uses and the jammer is
indiscriminate within its range.

If you are unhappy with a behaviour go and tell the offending person why.

Most people don't deliberately set out to annoy you each day (said
while carefully placing tinfoil hat on head) and will tone it down.

As to the rest, accept that society includes all types including a
small percentage of anti-social wankers and move on.

Anthony.
