this isnt really the same as cell jamming, not in the context of the law anyways.. unlawful cell jamming im pretty sure due to the legal language, means you have to "broadcast" a signal to jam.. this wouldnt be crossing that line by legal definition... ill see if i can find more info i suppose as im not the foremost authority

You cannot call and receive calls. The Pouch does not only block phone calls, It blocks the frequency.Even on password protected phone, a phone that has no service can make an emergency call.
It says on the link you provided that the pouch will block
ALL FREQUENCIES.
all Cell Frequencies on the planet.

Jamming a cell phone is illegal in the U.S. Very illegal. And not just by ordinary citizens. It's illegal for theater and restaurant owners to jam (block) calls, and even state and local police or prison officials. The U.S., in fact, has the strictest laws in the world against jamming cell calls. U.S. law prohibits not only buying, selling, carrying or owning a cell phone jammer, but also posting a Craigslist ad that claims you're selling one. If you're caught with a jammer, you could face up to $11,000 in fines and up to one year in prison.

Some have called for the right to jam calls in movie theaters, hospitals and elsewhere. But others say that doing so would block calls in an emergency.

You dont need to turn off your phone or your radio on theaters. Just need to silent the ringer.
You don't have a signal when ur 50,000 feet inside the Plane.
The only agency allowed to use jammers are the military for a reasonable cause.
Don't you even realize that the idea is so cool, U can only get it in China?
