I think everyone can agree the MPD probably doesn't have the
equipment/skills to jam all FRS channels at once.  Personally
I doubt the FCC would do it themselves.  It sounds like a job
for a less scrupulous three letter agency.  There are lots
of them to choose from in DC.

If it happens again, just DF the source.
