We should rally and prevent it - that blasted government! Yet another reason that validates my choice not to vote for W !!!
I think there would have to be a very big crisis for the government to shut down GPS signals to the entire US.
Instead of degrading the signal now, they can shut off signals to a certian area at threat, like a city or section of a state. This would be a lot more likely, and it probably would not be for very long.
I've heard they do a lot of testing of these capabilities, the only place in Maine I know of is in Waterville, I beleive it's near where an old steam train is. :D
He he heh...:pQuote:

Lets PLEASE keep polkitics out of these forums, PLEASE.Quote:

Deal with it. Sometimes it's necessary.
Having said that, so you REALLy expect that it would be used except in extreme circumstances?
Sheesh!
I actually thought that the Prez had disabled the system around the time of the political conventions. Literally, one minute our GPS was working, and the next minute it couldn't find any satellites! Turned out that our ancient GPS had given up the ghost, not the system......
