How does the FCC enforce this sort of thing? Are they listening in to certain frequencies nationally with the ability to triangulate a handheld down to actually identifying someone?

Most of the time they get a complaint, and they investigate.

Someone complained, they send someone to check and triangulate, verify that the operator doesn't have the license, then issue a warning or fine.
