Everyone in the system needs to tread very carefully and quietly about this.
Every layperson with whom I've discussed this situation has been completely flabbergasted when I've explained the sources of tower and other ATC frequency information and equipment that can transmit on those frequencies. It's easy to envisage a fear-driven knee-jerk reaction that makes the system much more complicated for everyone.
Let's hope they catch and flog this muppet soon.
