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

[Louandzip]

I see it somewhat differently and I don't see it aimed at me.  I see a benefit of FBI/FCC publicly citing the law as a good way to inform the general public that laws exist and using radios in the furtherance of a crime (ham or otherwise) is already illegal, and such crimes will be prosecuted.  My hope is that this will help quell any cry that "something must be done" in the way of more laws, regulation and restrictions.
