It is indeed totally legal for a small aircraft to take off, and fly around in the middle of nowhere and never use the radio or ask any permission of anyone. We could in fact take off from the airport where we keep our airplane and fly off north west and never use the radio. If we flew towards the Oklahoma City metro area, we better have the radio on and talking to the tower.
LAX is not the middle of nowhere, and the area is indeed very restricted for any aircraft. They better be talking to the control tower and have the proper ADS-B radios and transponders and follow the instructions of the tower.
A jet pack in the area of LAX is bad pookie.
