TORONTO – It was the reporters who noticed first. Unable to call their editors from church while covering the weddings of the rich and famous, they asked the priest why their cell phones never worked in the building. The reply was quick: French counterintelligence. French-made cell phone jammers the size of paperbacks have been tucked unobtrusively among paintings of the Madonna and statues of the saints in churches around the world. Canada has considered allowing cell-phone blocking. But Industry Canada, which regulates the country's telecommunications, decided against it, saying the devices could infringe on personal freedom and affect public safety by crippling communication with law enforcement and security agencies.
