Jammers Vs Falsifications
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unlawful one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways 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 serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gadgets. Thus several political forces decided to set small secret wireless cameras 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 mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent 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 a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
