They have complete authority to impose controls on
equipment.
Within what limits?
I can see them controlling so they can preserve the RF
environment (ie banning Baby's First Microwave Transmitter kit).
Whatever's done with a broadcast limit is all inside closed
boxes which, by and large, have no RF environment effects. A mindset
of "this data needs to be parsed as we say" is a disaster waiting to
happen
Let's sic the parents on this. "If we can't record TV and
analyze it, how can we examine the kids shows frame by frame to certify
they're nipple-free?"
They already have a history of bitching to be heard.
