simple enough, if a phone rings a big security guard comes down and throws the person out and the phone in the garbage.-- raisin, Sep 26 2000 Theater sniper http://www.halfbake...ea/Theater_20sniperHit the deck!

[AfroAssault, Sep 26 2000] Pocket Cell Phone Jammer -- For Real http://www.starportuk.com/21.htm"The would be mobile user standing within range of your Wave-Shield is none the wiser. They just think they have a poor or non-existent signal. Both their incoming and outgoing calls are mysteriously terminated and the phone displays 'no service'."

Currently, 97 countries have more mobile users than fixed-lines and almost 1 in 6 people on the planet have mobiles."

In that case the seats could be placed on cellphone-activated trap doors.-- Skinny Rob, Oct 05 2000 I thought the Motorola V was the smallest phone you could get....-- imagooAJ, Nov 09 2000 How about tasers in the seat cushions? With the right capacitance, you can short out the phone.-- nick_n_uit, Nov 10 2000 How about locating the person in the hall and electroshocking (trought the chair), by remote control. (Only the right person, hi, hi, hi).-- leo14m3, Mar 29 2002 Not just theaters, but restaurants and libraries, too.-- mrthingy, Mar 29 2002 cellphonus rantus ad nauseum infinitum-- bristolz, Mar 29 2002 interesting idea, although PeterSealeys idea about the phone jammer could be amusing coz I doubt that anybody would guess to complain, and just think it would be bad reception.-- kaz, Mar 29 2002 Throwing them out of the theater is one thing. Causing harm and destroying property is another.
