For ISM, yeah the FCC don't give a shit. Marriott was jamming for years, until they were forced to stop. Keyword: years. If someone is making temporary jamming attacks (even on GPS or cell), unless you do it at your house or stationary

Hell, I worked at $retailer for a time, and even their statements were to "DO NOT ENGAGE SHOPLIFTERS". Worse yet, I can scarcely imagine some $12/hr being told to chase after shoplifters... That's gonna end up being shot

Keep on fighting the good fight. I'll keep on eating their money from below with pierat-sy. Saved money on music, shows, and programs means harm to the fucks at the top.
