Ah, ha, ha, ha! That was funny. There are plenty of time I wished cell phone jammers were legal in the US!

My buddy did that in grade school. Our substitute teacher was baffled that the TV kept turning on and off all by itself..... no stupid video in class that day.... haha

That's pretty dick. A lot of those companies need CES to show off their products in order to get sales for the next year. Imagine a small start-up company is showing off their new product and the presentation sucks. They would be screwed.

I'm 50/50.

It's a good test to see what kind of field engineers they have.

I'd do the same thing in all honesty. People really need to lighten up a little. Haha
