Using interesting frequencies or output power would be fun for radio amateurs (like me). 2.4GHz is one of our playgrounds after all :-)
Just because Joe Average isn't allowed to use such features doesn't mean that there aren't any legitimate users for it.
Preventing the accidental use of unauthorized features would be enough, I think (warnings that force you to look up the manual to find out the correct --force option or similar) I expect developers to be sensible enough to only offer 'public legal' values in the default options list.
just my 2 cents, Thorsten
