I cited 47 usc 302 in the grandparent, to which you responded “no”
( i was in error about it coming from 1934, which I acknowledged in a child comment)
The 2021 and 2019 laws are relevant because the FCC said they expanded the FCC “authorization power” in 47 usc 302a to include covered entities and national security threats, not just regulation over electromagnetic compatibility issues

yeah the 2019 act begin this odyssey, and the authority to regulate electronics imports is 47 USC 302 when Congress gave up their power to write down specific laws about electronics to appointed bureaucrats at the FCC back in 1934.

Vagrancy is a crime in many places.
Vagrants and transients are often dangerous and mentally ill.
It is reasonable to use state violence to suppress crimes.
Using a metaphor about the control of dangerous animals being similar to the control of dangerous people is not extreme.
