The one in part 15 that prohibits interfering with electronic equipment.

Nothing in the above post limits the method to RF or EMP. Much of this thread has been about optical methods, which I suspect to be how the lightning bolt interfered with the camera on MythBusters.

Most modern electronics are remarkably resistant against electromagnetic disturbances (EMC requirements) I once tried to silence a diskman by holding the antenna of a 5 Watt VHF radio onto it, no effect whatsoever.
If you use sufficient power, you may upset one of the paparazzies pacemakers or fry their expensive electronics.
