It's not the 1990s. When things hit the fan it will get serious. Study other countries and history and you will see its attitudes like that that will leave you befuddled when it's too late. Civil unrest is unavoidable as we haven't addressed our economic and environmental problems. Why do you think every police dept us being armed like the military and the NSA is tracking everyone. You think it's for fun? They are preparing. Fools on our side are not. Hey somebody flagged this comment? That's unbelievable. My point is that you don't have Apple do it because it's a specific small area of protestors and why would Apple be complicit in that anyway ? They would want to target an area and jam those phones without affecting the general public or even the general public in those areas. It's about targeting specific activists and leaders as has been done in other countries...ok I guess it was my subsequent post that barely had enough people to jury hide it. Someones sensitivity was touched because I said "Do you have a working brain?" before I explained the facts. I'm sorry. I almost edited that myself but really? We are so oversensitive I get my post banned because of that? No wonder we never get anywhere and republicans win. I have been called names and insulted and I never ban those. And I've seen NSA supporters say things that should be banned but never are and we are allowed to freely insult republicans which is hypocritical even though I've done it. This site is Overmoderated.
