Mexican churches using cellphone jammers

Four churches in Mexico have resorted to illegally jamming cellphone signals using devices smuggled in from Israel to stop parishoners' phones from ringing during services. The Mexican Federal Telecommunications Commission is looking the other way, but before you complain the US Federal Communications Commisson is pretty lax about this, too, and has pretty much never charged anyone with the crime of cellphone signal jamming (which might be the reason for all of those conspiracy theories that hotels are deliberately blocking cellphone signals to get guests to use the phone lines in their rooms).
