anyone knows about cell phone signal jammer, is it illegal to buy one?Does anyone know anything about cell phone jammers? I’d like to get one for my classroom. Kids are nor supposed to use cell phones in the building (landline phones are in every room in case of emergency). The kids still sneak phones in and try calling or texting on the sly. I’ve got a website http://www.jamerall.com for help.Has anybody worked with these? Am i doing the right thing then?

Govt wants the technology to disable cell phones in cars?
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.

fleet tracking gps jammer?
My company is implementing the verizon workforce management system. It is a gps tracking system through our company issued cell phones. Is there a way to block the gps tracking with a jammer of some sort but still have the phone work?
I don’t take kindly to having my every move tracked by my employer but before I up and quit I would like to know if there are any other options.
I am not a slacker so don’t get the wrong idea, its just principle for me.
Absolutely useless answer to me steve. Please refer to the question when answering questions.
In case anyone else finds this question, I found my own answer, here is what I recieved as an email response from the company below.
Yes the high powered GPS jammer would only disable the location tracking of Verizon Work Force Manager while still allowing cell phone / txt messages in and out.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

How to block and/or remove gps tracking devices from a vehicle?
is there a way to disable tracking devices built into a vehicles? (like on-star)
I know you have to pay for the service, but i dont like the idea of having gps built into my vehicle. whats to stop big brother from tracking my movement? and for all of you that say what does it matter then lets assume the worse case that i am up to no good. (im not but still i dont like the idea that my location is out there)
also, lets say someone placed a gps tracker on my car with out my knowledge. Are there devices that i can use to locate them? and also do they make GPS blocker or jammer? do they work.
I have seen jammers for cell phones but i think there illegal in the us.
Martial Law…How do we get organized?
When this Is instituted and the wide spectrum jammers bring down all of our communications (internet, cell phones, land lines, radios of all band widths) how will we get organized enough to address this issue. I beleive that they want us as confused as possible so that at the most the only resistance they encounter will be in the form of small factions. They want us to not have enough time or planning. So i ask you all how do we get organized???
why will no one answer this question???
