A little research goes a long way, and since I am more familiar with the FCC than most, I'll add a comment there as well.
1. If you look at their web site and snoop around, you'll see their phone number has a country code of 0086. China. There is nothing that can be done to prevent advertising of such items from another country. Waste of time losing sleep over it.
2. Yes, there are FCC regulations that prevent the use of cell phone jammers in this country. In fact the FCC regulations cover a broad spectrum (pun intended) of problems. For example, my neighbors electric fence interfering with my licensed ham radio station is illegal under FCC regs. But....... How likely is it that they will do anything about it? Take a guess.
3. The FCC (due to budgeting constraints) has closed a large number of their field offices, has cut down on the number of teams that enforce regulations by tracking down signals with mobile vans, etc.
4. If you can prove an immediate and known threat to life, then yes.... they will take that seriously and act accordingly... as in some idiot actually employing a GPS jammer at an airport. And yes, GPS jammers and cell phone jammers (most of them anyway) can be tracked very easily.... if you are close enough to receive the actual jamming signal.
And lastly let me say that in my humble opinion it is unwise to awaken sleeping giants. Let's take a really close look at FCC regulations and examine the specific ones that deal with the use of transmitters on licensed frequencies, like the ones we use in our airplanes for example. Such radios are required to be "type accepted" (in the United States anyway). Even with ham radio (where you can build your own) there are still rules that define spectral purity, etc., etc. So why am I bringing this up? How many Yak or CJ owners are using radios that came with the airplane? How many (if any) of these radios do you think were type accepted by the FCC ? Never ask the Govt. a question that you don't already know the answer to. Ever.
