[Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

So...the FCC *specifically* cites only amateur and personal radio services as illegal for use in crime.

I wonder how long the list is of radio services that ARE FCC APPROVED for use in crime?

Silly nonsense this all is.  It does not bring credit to anyone calling attention to this total non-problem.
