At the end of the day, legality is what society settles as an acceptable way of running itself when all the stakeholders reluctantly agree or at least don't protest too much. Right now the 'costs' are sufficiently low that no one cares. As with most things, I suspect that there is a threshold ( though likely much higher than I have previously anticipated ) at which normal person would be unwilling to go as if anything changed.

Nobody cares? Here its illegal to possess outside of military use. The US seems to give fines between 20-200 thousand $ for its usage. Potential imprisonment for its sale. Even overboosting wifi routers for better range gets people in trouble.

It's among the most illegal things you could easily do with basic electronics equipment.

why? because it can block emergency services, police and military radio, and burglary alarms.
