The authoritarians work like this. If they can actually charge, or punish offenders they DO IT. If the authoritarians can't do that they will threaten. If they had any real offenders they would have charged them, and made examples of them, with the controlled media slavishly reporting. It's obvious by the wording of the FCC This was a THREAT to ham operators.
The implicite crime they are suggesting is THOUGHT CRIME.
