You might have a difficult time getting credible re****ts. After all, many
who might use a jammer might not want to self-incriminate themselves or
reveal themselves to just everyone.

Not firsthand, but one newspaper article I read years ago said some pastor
in a church got pissed off with cps going off during services and he put
in a jammer, told all of the congregation about it, and nobody came to
arrest him and he said no more cp problems. And, I doubt if those
irresponsible-inconsiderate members who came to church with their cps
turned on actually changed their ways.

The key idea is what are the enforcement patterns like, what are the
chances of prosecution, and chances of punishment/penalty/etc/etc/.

I have a feeling that they really do work, and are being used in many
cir***stances (eg. anti-industrial spying, anti-cp at classified defense
instalations, and to foil IED control in Iraq).

No problem as far as I'm concerned.
