FROM THE FCC WEBSITE: About the FCC
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In other words - The FCC has the power to shut down illegal transmitters. It's their job. It's that simple. For example, if someone is transmitting on a Fire Department frequency and jamming the Fire Department's radio system, FCC engineers respond, they locate the source of the jamming and take the jamming transmitter off the air. Same thing if someone is jamming an airport control tower frequency, or any other frequency. This principle applies to ANY transmitter including licensed transmitters, unlicensed transmitters and any transmitters, including those in wireless routers.
