You think that phone calls should be taken in complete privacy? This is a problem with normal landline phones as well, maybe we can charge people who use their home phones within earshot of people as well. I don't have any problem with someone talking on the phone in a checkout line, although it is a little rude to completely ignore the cashier once it is their turn. I guess I like the world where people can make their own decisions instead of having extreme totalitarian rules that exploit every right of free speech. I understand the point of having people keep quiet in places like a movie theater or a church, but not in public places such as a grocery store. Also, I think it is stupid to say that people who are on call cannot attend public events. Many professionals are on call at all hours, do you expect them to just sit at home and watch television? This is almost too hard to believe are you a member of CRAP or something? Albert:

There should be a sign at all checkout lines and in all restaurants notifying customers that all who use their cell phones will be charged an additional $10.00 for that offensive behavior. Phone calls should be made or taken in private and all who do otherwise should be chastised and identified as the bums they are. I would make exceptions for emergencies but, professionals 'on call' should not attend public events.

People should have the responsibility and courtesy to turn their phones to silent before the film begins. While this is a “cool” technology, I feel it should not be needed.

BUT what about doctors who are on call? This techonolgy would block the signal to their pager/cell phone. Meaning they can't be reached. If anyone where to die as a direct result of a doctor not getting there page, because of the paint in their local cinema, you can bet the cinema would get sued, big time. After that the paint will be stripped off every cinema in the country, in fear of being sued for there choice of decore..... I agree, phones going off in the cinema is really enoying.

Or places where there is no reception? It's not as if the paint is going to pop up in every building out of nowhere - you'll learn from experience and make decisions based upon it. To Michael:

If they are on call, they know they need to be somewhere where they can be easily available. In other words, they shouldn't be at the movies! And, what did we do before cell phones? Things worked just fine. These types of excuses seem to me to be nothing more than people trying to act more important than they really are. This type of Faraday cage seems like a wonderful thing. It would also work great in auditoriums and theaters which use wireless audio systems (microphones, speakers, stage crew intercoms, etc.). These systems receive interference from cell phones that are only silenced, because the radio signals are still being received and transmitted by silenced phones.

Netflix a DVD and watch it at home. Or, go to the movies, but every half an hour, go to the theatre door and check to see if someone's temporal lobe needs patching up.
