I believe the checks and balances in our government is enough to prevent any particular abuse of such a power.
This whole thing is more of a "what if...oh shit maybe we should have a plan for this" kind of deal. Communication technology is too vast for any one country, even the USA, to shut it all down. Core components could be controlled, but for this "kill switch" ability to be used for any nefarious means, you have to already have a fairly suppressed population. I doubt any permanent, real harm could come of it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
