I own a "Phazer II", a $300 or so jammer/scrambler, which I sealed the case
and mounted it behind the grill of my car, thus blasting forward without
too many fears.  It works very well, though mounting location makes a major
difference.

If you attach it to your windshield, you have more protection in the front
than rear, however you will have some.  Where I mounted it, I only have
forward protection, however I drive all over the east coast, and would
rather have it behind the grill out of site than to have it taken away
because that particular state says "no devices that transmit".

Also, if you are driving on a major or national road, you will find that on
Channel 19, the truckers kindly state "Smokey on the right", "Smokey on the
left" quite often, as well as announcing women in convertibles.
