Cell-phone blocker puts control in hands of those wanting quiet

Article Abstract:

Netline Communications Technologies of Israel has developed a cell-phone blocker called C-Guard that can disable every mobile phone in a large room. The device is intended for prisons, the military and banks. Banks use them since they feel that cell phones can coordinate a robbery while the military does not want communications to be intercepted and fears that a cell phone can serve as a bugging device. Despite its usefulness, the device is large, expensive and its legality has not yet been tested.
