This is novel. You scrolled to the bottom without reading the top. The top of that page is very clear:

"ALERT

Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment, including devices that interfere with cellular and Personal Communication Services (PCS), police radar, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and wireless networking services (Wi-Fi)"

Then it references The Communications Act of 1934:

"The Communications Act of 1934

Section 301 - requires persons operating or using radio transmitters to be licensed or authorized under the Commission’s rules (47 U.S.C. § 301)"

But wait, there's more! 47 U.S.C. 302b. reads:

"(b) Restrictions No person shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section"

(Emphasis mine).

Have a read of the Communications Act before you get into trouble.
