Jammers Can Prevent Terrorist Attacks
A few days before the visit in November 2003 of the United States President, George Bush, to the United Kingdom, the British press speculated to no end about the extraordinary security measures that would be taken to protect the visiting president against possible terrorist attacks.
In addition to fretting about such routine measures as street closures and associated traffic jams, the press also indulged in speculating about the possibility of blocking cell phone signals along the routes to be taken by President Bush during his visit.
This speculation was no figment of the imagination of the English press; terrorists have been known to use cell phone signals for the remote detonation of bombs and explosives.

One example in that connection is the attempt by Arab terrorists in May 2002 to cause a major explosion in Tel Aviv by placing an explosive wired to a cell phone in a fuel truck destined for Israel’s largest fuel depot. Although the fire that resulted from the explosion was quickly put out, that event revealed an important possibility of using cell phones in terrorist acts. It is not surprising that the pioneers in the design of devices that can block the operations of cell phones had backgrounds in Israeli military intelligence.

Cell phone jamming devices were originally developed for law enforcement and the military to interrupt communications by criminals and terrorists. The bombs that blew up commuter trains in Spain in March 2004, as well as blasts in Bali in October 2002 and Jakarta in August 2003, all relied on cell phones to trigger explosives. It has been widely reported that a cell-phone jammer thwarted an assassination attempt on Pakistani President Musharraf in December 2003.

During a hostage situation, police can control when and where a captor can make a phone call. Police can block phone calls during a drug raid so suspects can’t communicate outside the area.
