There are suspicions that some hotel chains employ jammers to cut down on guests' cellphone use and boost in-room phone charges.

Now, I realize I can't have it both ways, but this one would really annoy me... Even local calls in a hotel room start to add up, recently I was in a hotel that charged for 800 numbers (after the first 10 minutes). Cell phones in hotels are a necessity.
But other places... If people could talk in reasonable volumes, I wouldn't have a problem with it so much, or at least didn't have so many inane conversations.
Amtrak, on their NY to DC Metroliner, has a quiet car, where no cell phones, no loud conversations, no loud beepy toys are allowed... This is their most popular car, and if per chance your phone does ring while in this car, the car residents aren't above hanging you by your toes outside the train as the train travels along at 120 mph. It's a good thing.
We seem to have gotten way too "It's all about me,and screw everyone else" and this zapper does nothing to change that mentality.
