Thumbs up Mobile killer

A Norwegian firm seems to have been listening (taken from Ananova):


Device Automatically Switches Off Plane Passengers' Mobiles

A Norwegian company is developing a device to automatically switch off plane passengers' mobiles.

ICE International's antenna box sends signals to switch off phones within a specific range.

Estimates say around 10% of passengers leave their mobiles on while they fly.

Engineer Jan Monrad Tangen says: "We've had close co-operation from the Air Aviation Authority and been in contact with 240 international airports and received very good responses. Everyone we've talked to says they want this technology."

According to Bergens Tidende, the company is now testing the box and will report its results in the spring.

Cool

What you need chaps is available from here http://starportuk.com/21.htm
I beleive that there is also a directional device that you can point at a particular offender's mobile to jam it.
