True enough, but what about RE-transmitting their signal?  Suppose I
spotted a speed trap and turned on my traveling-wave amplifier which
would then amplify the received radar and pump out enough signal to
french-fry the front end of the radar gun.  I haven't originated a signal--
I just sort of helped the radar gun out a little...
