    Are signal blockers illegal? Why don't places utilize things like that?

    Cell phone blockers are illegal Laura.

    "The Enforcement Bureau of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has announced new efforts to clamp down on the marketing, sale, and use of illegal cell phone and GPS jamming devices.

    On February 9, the Bureau released two enforcement advisories and a downloadable poster on cell phone and GPS jamming that warn consumers, manufacturers, and retailers (including online and Web-only companies) that the marketing, sale, or use of such jamming devices is illegal."

    I disagree with them being illegal as long as they could be made to just work in a person's home or place of business, and signs were posted. But, nobody asked me about it. :)

    Augie, that would be frowned upon by local law enforcement. I don't want to really hurt them, just maybe slap them around a little. :-D
