So, do think it will happen here in the States? Do you believe that we will see Movie Theaters actually trying to jam cell phones? And if they do, how will patrons feel about this? Speaking for myself, I have a home theater system, so this is not really a big concern for me.

Movie theater owners are considering asking federal authorities for permission to install cell phone jammers in cinemas to stop annoying conversations during films. After coming off three straight years of declining admissions, industry leaders are looking for ways to win back crowds, including ways to silence cell phones, from sweeps by ushers to funny fake movie trailers urging viewers to shut off phones.

Last year theater owners expressed interest in blocking cell phone reception, however with the recent box office slump, cinema owners are becoming more aggressive in combating interruptions. Source: Mobiledia
