Pretty please provide references when citing things, especially law.


Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 119, Section 2510 states:
  http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/2510.html


(16) ''readily accessible to the general public'' means, with respect to
a radio communication, that such communication is not -

(E) transmitted on frequencies allocated under part 25, subpart D, E, or
F of part 74, or part 94 of the Rules of the Federal Communications
Commission, unless, in the case of a communication transmitted on a
frequency allocated under part 74 that is not exclusively allocated to
broadcast auxiliary services, the communication is a two-way voice
communication by radio;



Doesn't that state "two-way voice communication by radio" is
specifically _not_ protected?


CFR 47, part 74, subpart D also states the 450 MHz frequencies are not
allocated for use aboard aircraft.  Yet, I hear news agencies doing so
every day.
