"The whole issue of widely available jammers, lack of prosecution or consequences associated with their use and the ability for those to be in the hands of either folks that are involved in criminal activity or terrorism is a clear vulnerability that we should address," the admiral stated.
He said the problem requires unity of effort across government and cooperation between departments and agencies.
