That I start thinking that workers rights and freedom are compatible:

Some "should" comes along and ruins it.

(It was the most controversial word I could think of)

Why not have the airport take him to civil court--if it damaged x-amount of airport operations?

Will the FCC send the $32,000 to the airport and its personnel, whose businesses were allegedly harmed?

The real story is the GPS blocker being in an employee's vehicle. Doesn't whoever monitors it notice that whenever he gets near the strip club it stops transmitting?

I didn't know one could purchase a device to interfere with airport systems at an apparently affordable price. That's a little disconcerting.

Why? The device was a nuisance, but nothing more.

Perhaps it could be used nefariously. Of course, we could only search Arab men because statistics show they are the most likely to use these types of devices nefariously, but that wouldn't be racist.

:D

Sidestepping the racist, nonracist policies, but couldn't you say the same about anything?

For example, there's plenty of cheap means for terrorizing or damaging airports, which may seem disconcerting, until we wonder... just how many people are actually willing to do that? We can imagine "a lot," but realistically, it doesn't seem to be worrisome enough*.

*Of course, if I was chief of security for some airport, I'd be worried, but that's a different context.

Here's the FCC case:

Turn out they don't like people driving around jamming everything they can.

While we understand the amount of the forfeiture proposed herein may be
sizable for an individual, we find it appropriate given the significant
safety concerns raised by the violations at issue. Consistent with Section
503 of the Act, we note that in response to this NAL Mr. Bojczak can
provide information about his financial condition and ability to pay which
could result in a reduced forfeiture based on Mr. Bojczak's particular
financial circumstances


That's bullshit! Make him pay for it the Canadian way: by forced sex slavery while being moved around the country by Ukrainians.
