Bomb Squads Need Cell Phone Jamming Equipment Immediately; Police and Public in Danger Unnecessarily Says CellAntenna Corp.


CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- CellAntenna Corporation is once again calling for the Department of Homeland Security Noun 1. Department of Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security
Homeland Security

executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States
 and the FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S.  to immediately allow local and state law enforcement bomb squads to purchase and use cell phone jamming equipment legally. At issue is the Communications Act passed in 1934 that allows only the Federal government and its agencies to use radio frequency jammers.

Recent events in London, England indicated that terrorists were going to use cell phones as the triggering device to detonate liquid explosives on airplanes. As well, law enforcement officials around the country are concerned that prepaid cell phones purchased in great numbers could be used as triggers for bombs. The heightened state of alert only verifies that the law prohibiting the use of RF jamming equipment by local law enforcement needs to be immediately repealed to protect the public.

The cell phone is the number one triggering device used by terrorists around the world. They can be easily modified to trigger a bomb to explode. Even if a bomb is found, current law prohibits First Responders to deploy jamming equipment to stop the IED Noun 1. IED - an explosive device that is improvised
I.E.D., improvised explosive device

 from blowing up. They are forced to wait for the Federal Government to take action. This delay can lead to deadly consequences, especially in regions of the country where no properly equipped federal authorities are in the vicinity.

"We must give our First Responders the weapons they need in order to fight this war on terrorism Terrorist acts and the threat of Terrorism have occupied the various law enforcement agencies in the U.S. government for many years. The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, as amended by the usa patriot act ," stated Howard Melamed, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of CellAntenna Corporation. "It is senseless to stop local law enforcement bomb disposal units from using equipment that can save lives."

CellAntenna Corporation has issued a constitutional challenge in US District Court in Miami, Florida to the 1934 Communications Act. The court has been asked to rule that the 2002 Homeland Security Act The Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (Nov. 25, 2002), introduced in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, created the Department of Homeland Security in the largest government reorganization in 50 years, since the Department of  allows First Responders to acquire and use radio frequency jamming equipment.
