I hope people realise this is the potential outcome for their skiddy behaviour.

They never do. This happens every year at BH/Defcon, and they always make an example out of the perp yet someone always does some dumb shenanigans.

This year we had a really bad RF jammer on 140mhz fucking with the Ham Radio Village/Contest. The story I heard was someone yelled into hardware hacking area that the FCC was coming and the jamming stopped

Hehe. That's hilarious.

Sadly, the barrier to entry for a lot of script kiddie shit is minimal and apparently common sense ain't common.

The fox hunt players could have found this dumbass in an instant.

Is this really where our law enforcement should be spending its resources? I would say rescuing kittens from trees is a higher priority than this nonsense.

Also worth noting wherever we get a chance — the Computer Fruad And Abuse Act itself is nonsensical and must be abolished. There is no salvaging it. It must be repealed with no replacement.

I don't think the FBI has enough agents to play tech support to anyone who doesn't understand how wifi works.
