Rather be hit by a nice hardcover book? It is way overdue to get past the failed attempt to monopolize airborne communications. There never was an electromagnetic interference problem!

Unfortunately, your not being convinced has very little to do with the reality that it is readily accomplished. However, that still is no justification for an attack on civil liberties; those are the actions of groups with either a different agenda or the lack of sophistication to avoid "bruteforce" solutions to problems.
Surely, you realize that having no secrets and no backroom deals (it was called "transparency" in the 2008 elections) makes being in power less fun and far less profitable ...
In the US, if it is a Class 3 device and "FDA-approved", currently you are out of luck (Federal preemption). On the other hand, if it is a Class 2 or Class 1 device, it is adminstratively cleared based upon materials submitted by the manufacturer (not "approved" by the FDA) and manufacturers get sued all the time for faulty design, faulty manufacturing, faulty claims, etc.
IMHO, the arguement that software is special or different is just specious. Software engineering, exercising greater care, doing more careful and comprehensive testing just cost too much time and money, especially when you have already trained your customer base to live with the flaws at a given price point.
GF we should deliver a better product, if we have to sell less or at a higher price. Where is the fun in that?

'Cause they don't want to look really stupid! We have known for a long time that this nonsense was not technically correct.
ignoring or reinterpreting data at odds with your beliefs
This is a well-known phenomenon in psychology; it should come as no surprise!
Re: Ha.... You Need to Get a Warrant
Sadly, the data indicates that you are right and our hopes for change resulted in "Yes, we can NOT!".
