So who wants to be the first guinea pig to get arrested and challenge this
law?

nice.  a secret federal law making it a crime to monitor the public
airwaves on public property that's open to the public.  it's pretty obvious
no terrorist would be openly monitoring with a scanner at an airport...but
apparently that's not obvious to our public officials.

unfortunately, the only way to stop this nonsense before it gets out of
hand is to challenge it.  and apparently the only way to challenge this
invisible, secret law is to be charged with violating it so that it can be
subjected to a bright spotlight in a court of law.  if this isn't done, the
definition of "critical radio activities" will be systematically expanded
to include just about everything your tax dollars pay for.

so what's the definition of "all controlled airports" anyway?  and does
anyone in the group have a list of these airports?
