Default Help Defeat Ill-Conceived FLA Radio Law

The law may need revision, but endangerment of public safety and

This is true. But we already have plenty of federal laws to deal with
that. The solution is not to enact more laws, and cause federal and
state organizations to start fighting with one another over jurisdiction.
The solution is to enforce the laws that already exist.

However, the US laws extend only to US borders, which is why Haitian FM
pirates, Brazillian shortwave broadcasters, and Chinese touch lamp
manufacturers will continue to be a problem until we sit down with other
governments and work them out (as we did with megawatt Mexican AM broadcast
issues in the past).
