can a em wave cancel out another em wave, like a radio signal canceling out another and not when they hit the antenna because i know that can be done but can they cancel while still in-flight
i was reading about cell phone jammers and wondered how they blocked the signal exactly
Hypothetically speaking.
I have a school assignment in which i need to argue to a mock supreme court my case. The case consists of two siblings who sued a public school for installing a cell phone jammer. Since jammers are, in fact, illegal, my partner and I need to argue that the law is unconstitutional. Any ideas where i could find back up in the constitution? We have and still are searching frantically.
Ok….. So this is the final round of today’s show….. Whoever guesses correctly wins!!…. So, "What Will The Government Do Next To Prove That They Don’t Trust Us?"
………………….
If you guessed, "Attempt to make it mandatory that all cars come with CELL PHONE JAMMERS so we won’t be able to use our phones while inside them", you are CORRECT!!!!!……
BQ2: Do You Think The Government Makes Mountains Out Of Molehills (This Weight Loss Kick They Have Been Pushing ALTHOUGH, People Who Live Long Actually Cost MORE MONEY) Because They Can’t Destroy The Actual Mountains (The War; Our Increasing National Debt)?? ….. I feel like they do in order to distract us from the real problems
BQ3: What To YOU Has Been The Best Evidence That The Government Does Not Trust Us?….. Personally, it was when they wanted to take toys out of happy meals because they didn’t trust the parents to not feed their kids to many of them…. When you start not trust the parents to raise their kids, to me, that’s when they really cross the line……
THE GIST
Using a cell phone in a car could soon be impossible.
The Department of Transportation wants to disable cell phones inside cars.
Laws are unlikely to change behavior, contend some experts.
Not content with laws banning talking or texting while driving, the U.S. Department of Transportation is considering adding technology to automobiles that would disable cell phones. The move is a response to the growing number of deaths and injuries related to distracted driving.
"I think the technology is there," said Raymond LaHood, the Secretary of Transportation. "And I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones."
In addition to his comments on disabled cell phones, LaHood also announced a new video campaign, "Faces of Distracted Driving." The series of online videos tells the stories of several victims of distracted driving. The DoT plans to add a new video every few weeks.
During his talk last week LaHood said that nearly 5,500 people died from distracted driving last year, and that about half a million were injured. That’s a low estimate, according to Paul Atchley, a scientist at the University of Kansas who studies distracted driving.
LaHood’s figures only account for known deaths or injuries — suspected deaths or injuries aren’t included. The real numbers, said Atchley, are likely far higher, and will only get higher.
While there is no federal law against using a cell phone while driving a vehicle, dozens of states prohibit texting while driving in an effort to reduce the number of deaths or injuries. Several other states forbid drivers from using hand-held cell phones.
According to LaHood, laws aren’t enough. Instead he plans to fight technology with technology. Hardware, such as cell phone jammers, are illegal, and the FCC isn’t likely to approve any kind of jamming equipment. That leaves software from companies like Zoomsafter, tXtBlocker and iZup.
While the specifics differ, the general idea is the same. When a cell phone or a vehicle exceeds a certain speed, determined by the car and transmitted via Bluetooth or by the speed of the cell phone itself as measured by cell phone towers, the phone is automatically disabled.
That won’t work, said Atchley. Most of these services are voluntary. It is not difficult for users to either not activate them, or to work around them.
The real answer to the problem is a change in people’s attitudes. The research on drunk driving and distracted driving is quite similar, but the reactions of people to both are far different.
"When we ask young drivers about drunk driving, they say that judges should throw the book at drunk drivers, but not the person texting while driving," said Atchley.
"The bottom line is that people want to use these devices," said Atchley. "And things are going to get worse before they get better."

Isn’t kids in the backseat crying and fighting also a distraction to a driver?
I remember when people were wanting to ban car stereos because they thought that too was the reason there were so many wrecks.
I want to sell the cell phone jammers online through ebay. However, I live in the U.S. and they are illegal. I will just put a disclaimer on the auction saying it is illeagl to possess in certain countries. The buyers information will be sent to a company in china and they will ship it to the customer. So i will have no possession of the item, it will just be dropshipped. Do you think this is legal in the U.S.? Thank you!
People are selling them on eBay already. And im not trying to ship into the u.s. Maybe just for countries where it is legal to posess one.
My boyfriend of 6 months cheated on me by saying he was home with his parents when he was really out at the movies with another girl who is also a junior. When I confronted him he made fun of me in front of a group of people from our school saying I was just something for the summer. I dumped him but now I also want to humiliate him. He swims at 24 hour fitness getting ready for the swim season and he uses my combination lock so I was thinking of going in there and stealing all his clothes and wallet and cell phone and keys while he’s swimming. He’d get laughed at and have to walk home in just his swim jammers (spandex shorts). Is this a good idea? Suggestions?
