I agree, it looks like this bill might give some 'Teeth' to PRB-1 (Force local governments to accept PRB-1 type rules)

Homeland Security already includes Amateur Radio in it's plans. All RACES members are considered to be part of Homeland Security We have several advantages over paid professional communications operatives not the least of which is this.

All the police radios in a city reside in a very limited number of locations (Save for the ones the officers are currently carrying) taking out most of the police commnications in a city is actually fairly easy.

However even locating all the ham radio stations in a city... IMPOSSIBLE. For example, QRZ.com shows my mailing address... I'm 70 miles from there today
