I've always thought it would be fun to have one of those jammers. If someone's being rude, ask politely. If they get obnoxious, slap your chest communicator and say "Kirk here. Initiate communications countermeasures in sector 13." *Blooop!*

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
