This would kill Google nav in smartphones. Stop nannying.
“There’s a lot of technology out there now that can disable phones, and we’re looking at that,” he threatened...
They already have the technology made already and it’s got a tracking device within... No, I’m not crazy or a kook. They’ve been doing this globally and with a conglomerate - forget the name.

They’d better have a way to distinguish between cell phones of drivers and those of passengers, as well as those that are moving and those that are stationary.
I don’t think you could disable cells of drivers from the outside without affecting the reception of everyone else. You’d have to be able to do it everywhere, from the open highway to suburban neighborhoods (for the chillrun dontcha know), and there are a lot of non-drivers in all those places who are perfectly safe to use their phones.
This from the very SAME government that proposes to put tracking radios in every vehicle so they know how many miles you drive, how much CO2 you put out, and can charge accordingly. I guess their jammers would exempt the spectrum for the Big Brother tracking radio.
Don’t tire pressure sensors communicate via RF, too? The WON says that tire pressure is the key to curing our addiction to foreign oil. So I guess that would have to be another spectrum exemption.
That’s going to have to be one smart jammer to avoid interfering with other Big State crap, but totally block out Personal Freedom. Maybe they can sell this as a “Jobs Bill” because it will take so many engineering hours to design the jammers.
So, there is no problem with mobile phones.
It is another second-hand smoke, global warming hoax meant to give gov't more control over your life.
Why can’t we force the Federal Government to stick to their Constitutional powers?
D.C. needs to shrink, not expand.
They’ll probably end up disabling pacemakers and other critical tech...This IS the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.
How about getting rid of cell phones altogether? There's nothing worse than thinking your cell is in working order only to find out the gov has turned it off. Thus having a cell phone would be a false sense of security.
If they disable cell phones, what happens if one needs to call 911, what happens to the responder's cell phones?
I wish new trinkets would stop being invented. All they do is add more laws, rules and regulations. Right now we're overloaded with them!
What about My satellite Radio? I guess they can kill two birds with one stone,Get Talk Radio and Phones out of the car
