Cell Phone Blockers

Cell phone blockers are coming to the United States, even though they are illegal. A person named Kumaar Thakkar from India ships them to the United States. People have invented a machine that cuts off peoples cell phone conversations in a 30 foot radius. They are called cell phone jammers. Verizon spends almost 6.5 billion a year to keep up there networks. It is very hard to detect these jammers. The price of the jammer is 200 dollars. This information is from an article called Devices Enforce Silence of Cellphones, Illegally.
I think these jammers shouldn't be allowed because someone can be on the phone with a very important call. For example someones family member can be very sick and the hospital need to get in touch with there family. If a person with a jammer is next to them or even near them then they would get cut off.
