That's a good point. I do know even if a cell phone account is
deactivated, as long as there is a working battery you can use it to
call 911. I'm not sure how this blocking technology could work in an
emergency with shut off cell phones. Kind of a start of an idea,
though, to get people to really stop trying to use their cell phones
when they should be focused on driving.
