Uhh, that means harmful interference to other devices, not to your self.
By generating bandwith (IE using an AP) you are not causing harmful
interference to another device, and you cant even go as far as claiming
oyu are causing harmful anything (not to mention) interference to your
self. Someone using your AP is not generating harmfull interference, they
use using AP according to its designed use. You are going WAY out on a
limb there, I doubt that would stand up in court.
