I see a market for personal WiFi jamming devices.

Those are illegal (at least in the US, and likely just about everywhere). Which is bitterly ironic in this case ... spying on people inside their homes using WiFi is "fine", but trying to jam that bullshit is ... illegal.

Illegal? Why? I'm only heavily using all the WiFi channels with my perfectly legitimate web browsing.

Jamming would run afoul of the FCC. Now having one or more WAPs randomly modulate their signal strength should do the trick
