FCC Wonders When It's Ok to Disrupt Wireless > Also

Not sure I follow why that's true.

If Metro Railways can't interrupt cell signals or wireless, then theaters, churches and stores also should not be able to block them with jammers.

I don't know about that. Just because the police can enter your home with a warrant doesn't mean that a private entity can apply for the warrant. In any case, Metro Railways isn't jamming (meaning putting out an interfering signal), they're shutting off the transmitter.

Now, I don't think they should be allowed to shut off the transmitter without a court order except under exigent circumstances, but I don't see the slippery slope you're proposing.

Just FYI, police effectively don't have to have a warrant anymore. Wasn't sure if you got that memo.

If the FCC manages to push for a law, and get one in place, it should specify if, where, when and by who communications can be prevented, jammed, disconnected or whatnot.

It's getting pretty bad here in the US, so nothing is really surprising me now. First Barry Suspends Habeas Corpus with the NDAA in Dec 2011 adding with his signature that his approval of this law doesn't mean he agrees with it, then the house passes H.R. 347, which effectively neuters the right to assemble.

Whats next?
