Perhaps my way back to the movie theater will be eased in the future. The National Association of Theater Owners is considering petitioning the FCC to allow cell phone jammers in movie theaters. Currently the FCC prohibits any use of cell phone jamming devices, ostensibly to prevent evil-doers from screwing with emergency calls.

Normally I would think that the welfare of the citizens would trump this, but these days I have to wonder. I mean, how much money does the National Association of Theater Owners drop into the pockets of politicians these days?
