Apple patent could allow companies and the Gov't to shut down your smartphone in certain areas

If someone doesn't want you talking on your phone during some event, then they need to incorporate a jammer. Messing with each other's phones like what they are implying is just wrong. Can't see Google trying to licence a BS patent like this from apple.

Why would Apple want this "feature" on their devices?

"iPhone. The next big thing is Big Brother."

Doesn't sound like a successful marketing campaign to me.

I don't think you guys are grasping the idea for this. I honestly agree with the government to be able to shut down service in certain areas for security purposes. The only reason I say this is because in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorists are using cell phones to detonate explosives. Gorvernment yes, but other companies I would say no. That's just my opinion on the whole thing, they aren't trying to control you, it's to keep you from being bombed and what not.
