It's clear from the memo that the FCC considers security risks to be exempt from this requirement.

It sounds like the AP being on your network is what constitutes the security risk. I doubt the FCC would have a problem with a network administrator taking action like that. Unrelated APs are different.

It's also arguably not "harmful interference"... it's a legitimate operation within your network.

Yeah, big difference between limiting access to your own network and limiting access to someone else's
