Not sure if "taking control" of a drone would be considered a form a jamming, but the FCC says: > 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).[1] The FCC just handed out their largest fine ever ($34.9 million) against a Chinese company for selling jammers in the US capable of interfering with GPS reception from a half mile away.[2] I recently became a licensed amateur radio operator (W6AKJ) and was surprised by how seriously the FCC takes enforcement of those radio bands that are available for public use. I find it highly dubious that these guys would be able to market and sell to the public a device that interferes with the lawful use of a radio band used for remote control.

Except CB. Listening to it, you'd never guess that they used to regulate profanity and the use of illegal signal amplification.
