IANAL, but I believe they are. State laws may also apply (e.g. California Code - Section 502). In California, it is illegal to "knowingly and without permission disrupts or causes the disruption of computer services or denies or causes the denial of computer services to an authorized user of a computer, computer system, or computer network." Blocking access to somebody's personal hot spot most likely qualifies.
