"this forum question is all about cell-phone jamming in theaters. I'm for it."

I should have read further before I responded to you. I thought you were in the minority, but on this thread you most decidedly aren't the minority.

But, in this case the majority is just wrong. Wrong on law, wrong on principle, wrong on what is a reasonable response to life's annoyances, wrong on what's in the best interest of the public.....I could go on, but I'm sure my arguments won't convince you, or most other folks who would love to have the power to interrupt people's cellphone conversations with a jammer - not because they should, but because they think they can - with no regard for anyone else - only their own self-important "right" to not be annoyed.

It's a slam dunk. The theaters will lose this one, and the whiners will still get to whine about how awful and antisocial everyone ELSE is.....

You claim to have read this thread but in fact you have read and understood: nothing.

Repeat after me: on the theater's private property.

Again, with feeling: on the theater's private property.

Nobody is talking about doing anything to you, so quell your vaunting paranoia. It's on the theater's private property that we're discussing here, and that only involves you if you decide to go on the theater's private property.

Try to wrap your mind around the concept. It's doable.
