Look, the FCC doesn't even have enough enforcement personal to enforce the
regulations from before ECPA much less do nay thing about it as well.

Case in point: There are a bunch of idiots in So. LA who have illegal
high wattage CB outfits, who have at times made ANY use of auto CB units
in the LA basin impossible.  Even though the local CB clubs have complained
multiple times over the course of the last 5-7 years, the FCC has done
nothing about it.  The reason being that the FCC has only 2 investigators
for the whole southern CA area (LA, Orange and Sna Deigo counties).
These overworked people have enough problems worring about interference
with commercial broadcasting to do any thing about citizen complaints.
