In particular, the FAA (DOT in Canada) has absolutely no sense of humor
about interference with aircraft communications:  they will find you and
jump on you with both feet.  With spiked boots if you hash up communications
enough to kill someone before they find you.  This is a real possibility.
Don't do it.
