Speaking as somebody who only uses his cell phone to figure out where people are and how to meet them, I think it's selfish and judgmental for anyone to use a cell-phone jammer. I applaud you, Cyn, for having the balls to go up and tell loud talkers to shut up, and I understand that it gets old after a while, but some of us need to be in contact with people for communicational purposes - which is why we're paying for cell phones to begin with.
I don't see much merit to the argument that OMG THERE MIGHT BE AN EMERGENCY. It could happen, I guess. It just seems to me that the main issue is that a lot of people are going to be disserviced for the convenience of one person with a cell phone jammer. And while that's not going to cause babies to die, it's going to be VERY annoying for me when I'm trying to get my girlfriend to meet me for lunch.
