I look forward to the development of pocket-sized, affordable cellphone jammers. I'll buy one and take it with me everywhere. Think of the peace and quiet at bars and restaurants, theaters, golf courses, cars, and office meetings.

Agreed! These people in the ER will die quite peaceful deaths when the surgeon you're jamming never gets his page.

in the before cell phone days Doctors told their answering service where they would be, and the phone number of the restaurant, theater, club etc.

You raise an excellent point. If businesses can run jammers without fear of prosecution, they will almost certainly post a sign that says "cell phones jammed during show times" or some such. That way you actually realize it's happening. Under the current system, more and more people carry personal jammers, and you never know when you'll suddenly find yourself in a dead spot.
