Comments

  1. Fathom Warden: I've never thought about why people think these things are a solution
  2. Miawex: i've heard of these things being used to block annoying solicitors' calls, but this is insane - can someone explain the fines?
  3. Rogue Sparrow: this is some amateur hour stuff - you'd think people would know better by now
  4. Cipher Lynx: that one person's music problem doesn't justify messing with my phone's reception
  5. Iron Raven: most people wouldn't realize this isn't just about noise control. it's weird how these things are regulated but not as strictly as you'd think
  6. Glitch Lynx: seriously can't believe people still think this is a solution to noise complaints. you'd think everyone would learn after all the lawsuits over these things
  7. Dane: most people don't realize that jamming any wireless signal is essentially tampering with evidence, which in itself can have serious legal implications
  8. Glitch Comet: I thought these things were just a myth until I saw one in action at this outdoor festival last summer - still had to call the cops
  9. Noah: You'd think they'd come up with better solutions for noise control than something that disrupts an entire frequency range
  10. Iris: people are still using these things thinking they're some sort of DIY fix
