I hope they make any prosecutions very public. Anyone who is doing fart noises or beavis and butthead on an emergency frequency deserves career-ending embarrassment.

I bet it doesn't take much for the ADS system to tap into the COMMs of an aircraft to see when they are transmitting and what freq they are transmitting on.

Not even that is needed.
If no one said anything, 90%+ of the pilots that accidentally come up on Guard will figure it out on their own after their one transmission.
Saying absolutely nothing will result in even less Guard-comm.

I can say with confidence that this is mostly PSA and their army of 21 year old croakey wearing top gun never was pilot group. I have on five seperate occasions heard PSA pilots abuse guard and then low and behold the same voice answers a radio call on the radio 1 freq. It's no coincidence you just named all of their domicilies.
I have previously flew at a regional west coast prevalent prior to a legacy and in those years I have never once flown with someone who pulls the guard crap. There would be a serious discussion and pro stands to follow.

Reason being there are about 4 times more aircraft aloft in the east at any given time. Ever fly in and out of the NYC/Philadelphia/DCA airports? Not trying to justify the clown show but with more flights come more pilots and the likelihood is that much greater of a clown flying an airplane. BTW are we sure these are all "professional" pilots doing this?

No, SOCAL & NORCAL and LA center are pretty busy but you don't hear the 121.5 crap.
