Re: (Q) wireless networking classroom cheating examples

You hit the nail on the head IMO.  Given current technology, students have
the ability to transfer information electronically without ever using campus
servers or even it's infrastructures.  Also remember, students can use all
these great Encryption technologies proposed here, like PGP, to help ensure
that nobody can 'catch' them cheating.

I agree. Once you start down the road of worrying out electronically
mitigated cheating you need also worry about cell phones, Instant/Short
messaging, IR beaming, etc.

That said, I wouldn't think the FCC rules would prohibit jamming
transmissions as long as the jamming was confined to private property.
However, in the health sciences case we have to be particularly careful to
avoid electromagnetic interference that might impair medical instruments and
information systems. Mobile devices are really taking off in health care.
