Good point, the potential for it to be used to block innocent people from communicating is far greater than any real usefulness against people using cell phone

Good point, the potential for it to be used to block innocent people from communicating is far greater than any real usefulness against people using cell phone bomb triggers- which isn't that common.
- Rod 18y agoAnyone who has the technical know-how to build a remote-triggered bomb has the technical know-how to build a jam-resistant system. RF jammers can't possibly jam all the EM spectrum, and any evil-doer would easily be able to break this "security" measure.
- evgen 18y ago_I_ can build a remote-triggered bomb, but I am not going to be building it using a spread-spectrum frequency-hopping or ultrawideband trigger because I am not a RF hacker. This does not make the distribution of jamming equipment to local law enforcement justifiable, but let's keep the discussion grounded in reality. Remote-triggers for bombs that use common off-the-shelf RF tools exist and are well-documented, ones that are jam-resistent are not common (if they exist at all...)
- thwarted 18y agoPerhaps the reason that jam-resistant triggers are uncommon is because there is no need for them. If signal jamming does become common, then jam-resistant triggers will be common, off-the-shelf, and well-documented.
