    Ah yeah you must be right then because a quick web search (in English I assume) didn’t turn up anything about other countries’ counter-terrorist organisations or the fact that radar is used for missile locks for anti-aircraft missiles. Good comment.

    The US is not the whole world.

      They never implied that the US is the whole world. They merely mentioned what I assume is the regulatory body that they’re familiar with.

      If I said that the regulatory body who would be knocking on your door in France is ANFR (L’agence nationale des fréquence), would you complain about how France isn’t the whole world?

      I get that we’re all sick of American-centrism, but that was a really benign comment. They have no way of knowing what your country’s regulatory agency is offhand.

        And yet your other comment agrees with my point.

        I think the context that you and the original commenter missed is

        “near to anything interesting”

        What do you think that means in the context of radar? What is radar used to measure?

        Living near military installations would be the big exception

        It’s like you just want to disagree with me because someone else downvoted me.
