Sadly, the ECPA has replaced much of the Communications Act. This is bad, since the ECPA is a badly-written piece of junk.

Since they are illegal, I don't think you will find any folks in the US selling them, especially given how easy it is to hide behind a foreign web site.
If I did know of any, I'd be reporting them in a very different forum. I have already have nightmares with these things throwing trash out in aviation bands.
