Would you support legalizing the jamming of cellphones in theaters, assuming that the jamming would not 'leak' outside the theater walls, and that calls to 911 from inside the theater would be allowed out?

This just in:

CNN said:
The government's industry minister has approved a decision to let cinemas, concert halls and theaters install cell phone jammers -- on condition that emergency calls can still get through, officials said Monday.

Jean Labbe, president of the National Federation of French Cinemas, said the measure was a response to "a long-standing request" from cinemas of all sizes.

Cinemas have invested heavily to improve comfort, and "the authorization of jammers is the cherry on the cake," he told France Info radio.

Industry Minister Patrick Devedjian gave the go-ahead Friday, backing a decision by the Telecommunications Regulation Authority to allow jammers, his ministry said in a statement.

Devedjian specified however that emergency calls and calls made outside theaters and other performance spaces must not be affected.
 
NO, absolutely not. They should be jammed into their owners, and I can think of several places for insertion points...
 
Absolutely. I don't even care that much about the emergency calls. But I'll happily take some jamming over no jamming. This can't happen fast enough IMO.
 
Don’t really care. I don’t have a cell phone and it’s never been a disturbance for me when I go to a theater. Usually someone will take the call outside the movie room.
