No....and Yes... subtleties...

Nice backpedal. The simple fact is that it's perfectly possible to block cell calls in the theaters themselves, without blocking cell calls outside the building. It's not even particularly hard. The only "subtlety" is in accomplising it at the least cost; the obvious solution is also the highest cost: put jammers in the arm of every seat, with a range of ~4' (plus a couple near doors and such).

You've come up with hair-brained scenarios, technical approaches, and even tried to throw credentials around, and you are still wrong.

You have failed to produce a single example of an error on my part. I invite you to do so.

And what you advocate is, and will remain forever, illegal in the United States...

Might makes right. We heard you already, Niccolo.

But I suggest that "forever" is a really ridiculous word to use as regards the United States government. You don't know whether it will even exist in 500 years, let alone what its policy will be on short-range RF devices at that time.

...this one is so one-sided as to not even be amusing anymore.

You do a good job of protesting your rightness even after being proven wrong. What other tricks do you do? Can you balance a penny on your nose while bleating that you're right right right?

"You do a good job of protesting your rightness even after being proven wrong."

I must have missed a few posts, because I'm not following you here.

I didn't so much say I was right as state unequivocally that you were wrong. I have nothing at stake for being right, I just think it's funny that you are so wrong - yet still you come up with "solutions" in ever-increasing detail in a futile attempt save face. Just give up, will you?....please.

There is no active technical solution to this "problem" that is workable, legal. It's a matter of social behavior, politeness.
