MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Some Mexican priests, tired of Mass being interrupted by ringing cell phones, are using counterintelligence technology made in Israel to silence the devices.
In four Monterrey churches, cell phone blockers the size of a hand-held radio have been tucked among the paintings of the Madonna and clay statues of saints to bring peace back to Mass.
It’s about time too, I can’t stand it when Cell phones go off in places where quiet is the whole point of it. I look forward to the day that they make one of these that I can put in my pocket, and create a nice little 50 foot buffer of silence.
No more Britney Spears Ring Tones. No more Rings in the Movie Theatre. No more driving on the road around people on their Cell Phones not paying attention to the Road.
mmmmm….. I think i’ll start praying for it now.
