Get a box at the entrance with the satanic bible in it and have the attendees drop their cell phones in there before the service, under the guise of "trying to give the devil cancer". :?

So it's an issue with the device, regardless of which bands you are trying to block?

Yes. But once again - I'm not a lawyer. Don't you have one in the congregation that'll give you a pro bono opinion? And sommer tell you what the possible ramifications of using one and being caught out will be?

Funnily enough, we don't have a lawyer in the church. Or a plumber. You'd almost think that you could caricature lawyers as dishonest money grabbers whose consciences do not allow them to attend church. And plumbers as violent princess rescuers who squash living toadstools and eat only mushrooms.

Look, any sort of active jammer is technically radio interference. And regardless of whether or not jamming is illegal, you may not transmit on a licenced band without a licence.

chapter 5, paragraph 50.

Passive jamming which is EMI suppression (rather than EMI interference) is not illegal because it does not pollute the spectrum
