Lets see now, some tongue in cheek ideas on the use of FM birds.
1. FCC prohibit FM radios that put out more than 5 watts on satellite frequencies. 2. FM satellites should have controlled access similar to closed repeaters so only "authorized" operators could use them. 3. Ban the use of any satellite antenna not hand held and with more than 1 db gain. 4. Prohibit the use of computers in plotting satellite paths or tracking satellites. Obviously, if the antenna is hand held, electronic tracking devices would be eliminated. 5. During FD operation, since it is an "Emergency Readiness Operation", class 1D should be eliminated. 6. FM satellites, when activated by the control station, should have should have the capability of blocking multiple calls from the same station. 7. And of course, all FM satellite passes should have at least one on-air "operations policeman"
