   True, it's a load of nonsense. The equipment is nowhere near that   
   sensitive.   
      
   On the other hand, it's a good way to stop the annoying background of   
   phone rings and conversations?   
      
   The same method should be used on trains and buses. Mobile phones   
   should be banned in public places.
