Hi Art
I agree with your post , but of course the Israeli Company that makes them
sells them on the web in various sizes to US customers as well. In spite
of the FCC they are being installed as we speak in restaurants and movie
theatres covertly by the owners to shut down phones in their buildings. I
guess they sell these jammers/blockers or whatever in all different sizes
depending on the area at hand to cover. MV content alert: The IDF use a
very high powered version with a large externel antenna array on the convoy
protection vehicle to at least prevent most of the radio detonated road
bombs. As we all noted it may stop some of the explosions but not all
types. I have not read that the US is using these things over in Iraq in
the police action going on now to pacify the post-war battle area, but I am
sure that they wouldn't be advertising it if they did. (I hope)
Later
Glenn

Many of them use a cell phone wired as the detonator-trigger. They can be
triggered from downtown Cleveland, by simply calling the cell #. It would be
rather difficult to find the caller.
The Isreali product, previously mentioned, is a low-power transmitter that
sends a carrier on the two major control frequencies, thereby effectively
not allowing any cell phone to be able to "find" the nearest cell, nor allow
the cell ti find the telephone. The product therefore, is a "blocker" rather
than a "jammer".

I was a dealer of these blockers, until I got a tersely-worded "request"
from our beloved government to cease and desist selling them. The FCC says
that not even other branches of the federal government such as the FBI, CIA,
DoD, are allowed to have them. There is an $11,000 fine just for possessing
one.
