Other devices operating with other frequencies might well do ...

..., fr00t l00p. The previous poster has stepped in the legal equivalent of quicksand. Your analogy is obviously based on the movie version of quicksand. Those of us who have seen the Mythbusters episode know better and find that to be the better analogy-- it's an annoyance rather than a real danger.
