President elections are protected With Jammers
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized 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. The thing is that this technique has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technologies allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret tools. Thus several political parties decided to set small secret wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phoneblockers 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 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
