Seems that the FCC is pretty limited in what they can do....


I think you underestimate the size and power of that bureaucracy. Here's
the list of hot topics. See anything that affects you in your daily life?

Wireless Local Number Portability (WLNP)
Do Not Call Advisory
Parents Place
Rural Telecommunication
Cellular Telephone Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
What You Should Know About Wireless Phone Service
High Speed Internet Access (Broadband)
Environmental and Historic Preservation Page
Information About Your Telephone Carrier
Understanding Your Phone Bill

Can you see "Understanding 'the News'" or "What You Should Know about
Sensational News Programs" or "Tabloid Television Journalism Advisory" or
"Information about your National News Broadcaster" on the list?

See also some of the numbers on this page:

http://www.fcc.gov/headlines.html

I'm not saying any such would apply in this case, but broadcast licenses do
have to be renewed....Also, freedom of speech has limits (e.g., yelling fire
in a theatre, invasions from mars, and mindless speculation of [fill in the
conveyance] commandeered by terrorists, etc)


Perhaps, tho, we should encourage them to make all complaints public

record
so the people can decide for themselves...


They are. Did you notice that 'standing' is not required? Any person or
group can make a complaint. The FCC may choose not to act upon it, but maybe
that isn't required. Accountability can be generated in many indirect ways.

Of course, it may be counterproductive to have someone erroneously draw the
conclusion that in fact suburban airpark communities are far more secure
than other types of airports. Oh no!
