Keep in mind the FCC isn't regulating the specifics of the WIFI protocols.. just the use of the spectrum. It's not a technical limitation on a certain type of packets, but about the results.

There are valid cases for doing what they are doing (preventing spoofing).. this just wasn't one of those valid use cases.
