The prison department started the testing of new jammers

The prison department started the testing of the secret equipments, which should disconnect the cell phones of the jailers. If the engineers succeed, the jails will be kept out of cell phone network, while other mobile phone users won’t be involved.
One of the biggest issues in jails is an illegal usage of cell phones. It is a well-known fact that the prisoners are forbidden in having a telephone. Nevertheless, the jailers make using them, although 1000’s of telephones are retrieved from the prisoners each year. There were even chances when the jailers attemped to contact the Russian Government via cell phones. Just not long ago, one convict called the members of the Security Committee, and requested them to examine his complaint more detailed.
The head of prison authorities informed that this problem is not actually the engineering difficulty but the problem with legislation, so such cases take place sometimes. As the FSIN director highlighted, an immediate stern prevention came from the special departments, which are defendant for the phone communication when the so-called cell phone jammers were used in some colonies. The governors were threatened with the administrative amenability for breaking the cell phone frequencies.
It’s difficult to apply such devices in the big cities, the problem is that the normal citizens suffer from the lack of stable connection. There were some efforts to establish the suitable jammer in the jails some years ago, but it brought to a public scandal, because the mobiles quited working not only in the jails, but also in the neighboring districts.
Other device is checked in Vladimir. According to the engineers, it doesn't interrupt the telephone connection, but it discloses the phones even if those mobiles are turned off. So the mobiles can no longer be put away. If this equipment has success, all jails will be equipped with those devices.

GPS jammers illegality

Due to the consolidation of GPS positions because of expanding the scope of its application, recently the U. S. Security services had the task of combating with the dissemination of GPS blockers (applications that stop the work of GPS-receivers) for the control of different services. This concept seemed to be admirable assuring Google to terminate the on-line searching of GPS disablers, according to Bob Brewin, the lead designer of nextgov.com, this idea worked at least for some time.
On the 7th of April a main editor, who had been writing about the GNSS problems for some time already, was impressed with the quantity of links in his blog, which Google showed on request "GPS jammer" (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately connected with the guys from Google. They informed that "The GPS-jammers’ links are in contrast to the company policy, which prohibits advertising of hacking and some appropriate technology", and that they will remove the problem. Indeed, the search on request "GPS jammer" have no effect in the evening. But on request "GPS jammer" with mark "Shopping" Google found 3 advertising references on the GPS-jammers’ sites.
And there was a large quantity of sites about those disablers in other search engines. In February, during the conference British expert David Last said how he reached 185 thousands backlinks on this request. The amount of GPS-disablers’ sites increased by 50% just in a month. The limitation of search of the exact phrase "gps jammer" by Google will take away approximately 106000 references – but it is a small relief.
