[Shop-talk] Compressed Air Lines, RapidAir

Scott - Jamming cell phones is easy.  It is also illegal in the US and 
many other places.  We can all still dream about a little key chain 
device that will disconnect the loud guy on the phone at the next table 
in a restaurant.

See http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/Public_Notices/DA-05-1776A1.html
and many other sources.

If I remember right, once upon a time some movie theater did or was 
going to do it and a lawsuit of some sort was involved about emergency 
communication.
