What are the legal implications of RF jamming (in the US)?
I'm glad you asked! Part 15 covers "unlicensed interference" from devices

(m) Harmful interference. Any emission, radiation or induction that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation service or of other safety services or seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunications service operating in accordance with this Chapter.

including

(p) Kit. Any number of electronic parts, usually provided with a schematic diagram or printed circuit board, which, when assembled in accordance with instructions, results in a device subject to the regulations in this Part, even if additional parts of any type are required to complete assembly.

To wit:

The operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. The Act prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C. Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government. (FCC website)

Since "The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited," this documentation is not covered by 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b).

OK fine. Where can I buy one?
I don't know, so don't waste your time emailing/asking me. On the other hand, Google and EBay are your friends.

I'm a member/relation in xyz military service and I would like to use these devices to protect against RF-triggered IEDs
While cell phone jammers are useful against some IEDs, many current designs are trigged by signal-loss. I have no more pointers, but perhaps someone in your organization with more experience can inform you of the best defences one can take against such devices.

Do you have any hi-rez photos?
