Jammers Vs Falsifications
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as usual some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even forbidden one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, 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. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. So some political parties decided to set small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity 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 equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
