The Federal Communications Commission has confirmed that its own guidelines claim the right to enter and search your home without a warrant at any time of the day or night.

If you have devices in your home that function using radio frequency energy, such as a Wi-Fi router or a cordless telephone, the FCC claims it can inspect them if it suspects they are being operated on an unlicensed spectrum.

“Anything using RF energy — we have the right to inspect it to make sure it is not causing interference,” FCC spokesman David Fiske has told Wired magazine.

The rules stem from the Communications Act of 1934, and have been used in the past to crack down on pirate radio broadcasters.

However, critics contend that because almost every house in America now has devices that use radio waves, the guidelines should be altered.

“The rules came to attention this month when an FCC agent investigating a pirate radio station in Boulder, Colorado, left a copy of a 2005 FCC inspection policy on the door of a residence hosting the unlicensed 100-watt transmitter,” Wired’s Ryan Singer writes."
