Cell Phone jamming paint

by David on March 4, 2006

A company called NaturalNano is developing a paint that effectively blocks all cell phone signals. Using nanotechnology, they have created a way to first insert nano-particles of copper into ultra-tiny tubes (which are 20,000 times thinner than a piece of paper) and then blend these particles into paint.

Of course the wireless industry opposes any such technology–claiming that it is nothing short of signal jamming–which is illegal. NaturalNano denies that assertion, insisting it just amounts to a passive device, not an illegal radio jammer.

Just think of the potential…..churches….schools…..restaurants….

Sounds great to me–just as long as the business using this technology gives proper notification to the end (non)user. I wonder, however, if all the cell phone junkies would ever put up with such an idea.

I know I wouldn’t frequent any establishment where I couldn’t take a call on my cell phone.

I understand that some people aren’t very polite when it comes to cell phone use - but that should be their personal responsibility.

where can I get this paint from ? I feel that this paint will benifit me after I paint my home in it to stop my daughters from runing up the family plan bills with there constant text messaging and 24 hr a day phone calls

Man! That’d be good, paint your daughter’s room!
