Active jammers are illegal by Federal laws too.  :)  There's this
organization called the FCC.

Why did they ban passive "jammers"?  Just let people waste their money,
think they're not going to get caught, then give them a ticket since they
trusted something that's basically just a box and power cord.

Passive ones.  Active ones, that you have to build yourself, can often be
effective... too bad they're so incredibly illegal.  Does anyone remember
the "Stealth Corvette" from many years ago (7?) in C&D?  Had an active
scanner, an "active electron" paint coating, swappable taillight signatures,
motorized hiding license plates, front-mounted video camera, and so on, they
could never get a good reading on it.

Even if there wasn't a specific law on them, can you get them on
"interferring with the duty of a police officer" or something?
