Silence is golden

As Mike Stranks points out, the Mobile-B-Gone that Steve Vincent suggested last week would be illegal. But Mike takes some comfort from forwarding sales details for the Zetron Cellphone Detector.
‘You’ve spent years preparing. You’ve rewritten the score at least twice. But your moment’s here at last… the house lights dim, a hush descends on the audience, the conductor raises his baton… and some moron’s mobile plays Für Elise!’
He warns us: ‘While we don’t have the power to reintroduce capital punishment, this great little gadget might help.’ It detects the polling signal from your mobile, and activates a recorded voice telling you to turn it off. Which wouldn’t be irritating at all.
