Re: Illegal in all western countries?

This surely breaks EMC legislation. It is fine if there is a genuine emergency in the same way that an ambulance can break the speed limit, but jamming a legitimate spectrum user bcause you do do not like what they are doing?

You've asked this twice now. For a start, you can license such things. Especially if there is enough demand or a sufficiently important reason it is possible to generate exceptions and/or relevant permissions. I can see something like that not being a problem near airports and building of significance (for instance, the whole of Whitehall is probably already jammed).

Secondly, you're gently skipping over the discussion of the user of a drone doing something that a sane and/or ethical person would not even think about. I think it preferable that drones are removed in a non-destructive way so they can be used to pester someone else rather than taken down with collateral damage risks or the owner be subjected to percussive re-education by means of a baseball/cricket bat (depends on country :) ).
