Once again the age of our legislators is showing. Just about every 'technology' issue that comes before Congress is decided by technologically illiterate old white men. I'm sorry to say, but they're way behind the curve.
It sounds like a great idea, until you consider that "jamming" a signal, even in the military sense, is nearly impossible. From a general policy standpoint, I think preventing cell phone use by inmates is a good thing. But from a technological standpoint, I think that it is just not feasible. Perhaps that money should be spent on getting less crooked guards?
The real WTF is "Prisons have used cellphone trackers and mobile phone sniffing dogs to try to find rogue mobile phones".. phone sniffing DOGS? What?!
