[TheForge] OT -- Cell Phones was Suggestions, please

Jammers are illegal, by definition.  But places like churches may skoot by
without a citation.

It's simple, visit mini-circuits.com, check out their Voltage controled
oscillators, add an amp.

Hey Grover, I need one for my car -- cell phone jammer.  I was behind a guy 
in Knoxville in heavy traffic using two of them -- one in each hand.  I 
understand some theaters, churches etc. are using jammers now days.
