Think your home is safe from theft and home invasion because you have an Alarm system with Cellular Phone backup?
Think again, thieves now carry Cell Phone Jamming devices. They cut your phone and power lines on the exterior of the house, then activate their Cell Phone Jammer to prevent your alarm from dialing out via cellular backup, and also preventing you from Calling 911 from your cell phone. These Jamming devices can be purchased from many electronics distributors overseas. They have legitimate uses such as preventing employees from making calls during work hours on their cell phones, but criminals have caught on to their benefits as well.
I was reading an FBI alert where criminals are starting to use these devices to prevent you from calling 911 from your mobile phone during muggings, rapes, and car jackings...
Yet another reason why everyone should own a way to defend themselves and not rely on the police to come save you.. You may never get through to them if the bad guy has a Jammer in his pocket.
