@AB9RF ... that principal intends on keeping device even though it's illegal to possess. 7:59 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to AB9RF
@AB9RF I've re-read it and you're right. But the Globe & Mail story ( http://bit.ly/aSj3 ) gives a little more detail and mentions... 7:59 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to AB9RF
@EricJacksch @another_squid Jammer at school is also a way to cut down on cheating. 7:40 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck
@another_squid @EricJacksch Oh, imagine that number is ~0, too. 7:39 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to another_squid
@EricJacksch Wrong by school does not offset wrong by students. 7:31 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck
@EricJacksch I'm not forgetting that jamming is illegal ( http://bit.ly/g4dqX ). School should be fined. Students should be disciplined. 7:30 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to EricJacksch

@another_squid @EricJacksch Some teachers say "put your phones in this box when you enter the room" and confiscate any that dont. 7:25 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to another_squid

@another_squid Static generators block reception. Better jammers act like a very loud cell and only allow select calls to go through. 7:14 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck
@another_squid Preventing "leakage" would be a term of a license, I would assume. No DIY installation on common walls, for example. 7:12 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck
@another_squid possibly, but first responders may need mobile devices that absolutely can't be interfered with. 7:11 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to another_squid
@another_squid ... the jamming can't "leak" out of the building. 7:07 PM Mar 31st from TweetDeck in reply to another_squid
