FCC Re-iterates Cell-Phone Jammers Are Illegal

WASHINGTON-People who want to use cell-phone jammers to get rid of
annoying mobile-phone use should think again. It is against the
law. Those found using, selling, manufacturing or distributing
cell-phone jammers could be subject to an $11,000-per-day fine and
seizure of their equipment by the United States Marshals, warned the
Federal Communications Commission.

"In response to multiple inquiries concerning the sale and use of
transmitters designed to prevent, jam or interfere with the operation
of cellular and PCS telephones, the FCC is issuing this public notice
to make clear that the marketing, sale or operation of this type of
equipment is unlawful. Anyone involved with such activities may be
subject to forfeitures, fines or even criminal prosecution," said the
FCC.
