In the US, it is illegal to deliberately cause interference to any
radio service.

However, the the US government is not bound by this.


Actually, it is in a theoretical sense. Otherwise the US would be a police
state.


The topic is interference with radio services.

In practice, however, the citizens seem to turn a blind eye to the practice
of the government violating its own laws. See Gitmo.


Gitmo has nothing to do with radio services.

Generally, all governmental organizations follow FCC rules, allocations,
etc. or there would be chaos.

But, if the magic words "National Security" are invoked, all bets are off.


This, IMHO, is bull****. Not your statement, but the fact that "National
Security" can call off the rule of law unilaterally. If *I* as a citizen
were to kill someone and claim "National Security," the cops would laugh at
me all to way to the jail g


There is no FCC rule against killing someone.
