On: Local Police Want Right to Jam Wireless Signals

The main issue with this is that remote bombs do not seem to be a big issue in the US. So we are giving away our freedoms for what amounts to scaremongering: there's no actual reason to use it outside of very few high-profile targets (and maybe not even then).

and its not like they need a cell phone to remotely detonate stuff...they can always lay down a wire and detonate it that way.

Or a pressure sensitive switch.

Or blow it when it stops receiving signals.
