It's about time.

It's about time. There is a growing worldwide movement to start jamming cell phone signals in certain public places. I carry a phone with me at all times, but sign me up: if I can once again get through a movie without hearing a cell phone ring, it will be worth any inconvenience to me. The industry's argument that this is a safety issue -- "to put ourselves in jeopardy by not having access is not acceptable" -- is ridiculous; the world functioned just fine before cell phones. I don't believe that even 1% of the calls that constant harass all of us are emergencies; the problem is inconsiderate people who sit and blather about nothing for an hour, not someone who gets an emergency call and runs off to deal with it.
