Great idea
Theaters may ask to jam cell phones
It really should be allowed. But I doubt it will be allowed even though the technology is readily available. (Full disclosure: I hate going to the movies.)

So do I. If people haven't taken their dang cell phones they have taken their baby.

I read a tech paper from a grad student who had created an area high frequency jamming device that could be adjusted to block cell phones. She said, at the time of writing, it was illegal to purposely jam any electromagnetic communication. It would probably take an act of Congress (really) to allow this to go through, not just an FCC rule.
I hope it does, though. I thought about building one and just wearing it on me in class. I hate it when people don't put their phones on vibrate.
