Interesting resolution indeed on the government's part! So we shut down/jam the ability for cell phones to operate over the air in prison areas. What happens when the frequency bleeds over and abnormally effects/jams a guard's radio, or when a hostage has a chance to call out via a cell phone. Why not just detect cell phone use?: http://www.eaprotection.com/profesesional-cell-phone-detector-detects-cell-phones-quickly-and-easily.aspx Geez, don't they know that prisoners can STILL play games with a jammed cell phone!

Can you think up anything more ridiculous than arguing that a 'hostage has a cellphone'? That's youtube-comments quality talk.
