Heck Mike,
I knew that you knew...and you are right that many people just don't
know what the FCC's role is.

Perhaps I should have put in more than just a link. ;-)

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.
