You can try to ratioanlize it as much as you want. The willfull
electronic interference of a radio service is a crime. Did you read the
part of my post about signal blocking? I thought not. Go back and try
again. If a terorist is going to strike, he is going to strike. The
Department of Homeland Paranoia is not going to be able to do anything
about it.

I am ALMOST old enough to remember a similar idea held in UK and Europe
before WW2, that 'the bomber (aircraft) will always get through'. The
RAF pretty well disproved it.


OTOH, the Eighth Air Force did pretty much prove it. Unfortunately, they
didn't always come back.

The idea was that there was *no effective defence** against bomber
aircraft, and it is that which is false. OTOH, there was no effective
defence against V2 rockets at the time. Luckily, they were developed too
late to prevail.

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.
