Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods 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 method 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 tools. Thus several political forces started to set small secret wireless cams 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 provided their representatives with special phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all these bands but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
