QUESTION:

Why would anyone intelligent enough to build a radar jammer want
to risk several felony charges and at least one federal offense to
get out of a $35 traffic ticket.  Anyone with the skills to build
this has a high probability of seeking work with defense companies
and if convicted of a felony you would not be able to get the
security clearance.  Also you could be interfering with aircraft
or other military services (wouldn't that go over big ?).

In short you could very easily end up in Leavenworth.

It's fun to talk about but I hope no one is foolish enough to actually
try it.  I usually just try to go the posted speed limit.

Just my philosophy :)
