    You’re carrying a big felony around if you get caught. Just decide if and when it’s worth it.

    Plus, since jammers are illegal for civilians, you will have to build it yourself.

      FWIW you can get decently powerful (but narrow frequency, most just affect cell bands or 802.11) jammers off Aliexpress for like $300. Thats where the cartels get theirs, at least. The FCC will find you the minute you turn one on though, and holy shit they don’t fuck around, so I really don’t recommend trying it.

        Yeah, the issue with jammers is that ones targeted at specific frequencies are pretty easy to prosecute. You will have a tough time proving it wasn’t deliberate interference.

        The spread spectrum ones that look like really loud noise across many frequencies are easier to get away with but far less effective with even shorter effective ranges.
