Interesting and certainly a highly questionable practice in States where they 
are legal and smacking of selective enforcement. I wonder if anyone makes a 
"stealth setup" which places rear and front antennas in inconscpicuous spots 
and the receiver is camouflaged as, let's say, a compass.

I wonder how they ever got away with making them illegal in some states. If I 
remember correctly, although not every citizen has the right to broadcast a 
signal without proper authorization or license, it is every citizen's right 
to receive any signal whatsoever, the only restictions being that of improper 
disclosure. Or that was the deal last time I took Uncle Charlies' little exam 
to get my ticket years ago.
