I actually completely agree with you on this - what they're proposing is going to stifle a lot of wireless hacking and will be overall harmful to try to avoid what is probably already at best a marginal problem. Most people that overpower their equipment already burn it out very quickly, and I don't think I'd worry about it as much as they are.

I think the alarmist point of view on this actually hurts his points though - because it comes off as a less legitimate concern than I think it actually is. It is something we should be concerned with, because FCC rules are often hard to change once they're made.
