The FCC is asking for public input as to whether or not it should allow federal, state, and local government agencies to intentionally jam wireless services in the interest of public safety. The commission is trying to formulate a policy in the wake of actions taken last summer by San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)system to block cell signals in some stations. BART had taken the measures to keep protestors from disrupting train schedules as part of their demonstrations.
