If we are talking about wifi 6E on 6 GHz sitting in a parking lot trying to
cause harmful interference within legal limits will not successfully harm
the operation within a building, especially not if the owner has a security
perimeter. Harmful interference on purpose is not legal in any case.

On the other hand, saboteurs rarely care about legal and can easily jam
either system.

And yet, this is simply not a real problem. Did you know that a larger
number of train transit systems are controlled by WiFi? Block that WiFi
signal and the trains stop city wide. But has this ever happened?
