Shutting down GPS would create a lot of chaos. Do airplanes not come

They also use airplanes, and as I recall, news reports indicated the terrorists of 9/11 used GPS to home in on their targets.

Turning off the GPS system if a plane gets hijacked may buy enough time for a military intercept. Seems like a good idea to me.


The Bush corporate cronies don't make any money selling any ANTI box
cutter systems to the Feds. They make money by selling them expensive
stuff like anti missile systems. The corporate/government corruption
matrix is SO intertwined now that it's almost impossible to get out of it.

Check out the recent Boeing corruption scandal, with government reps
standing to gain immensely from all the contracts being awarded to the
contractor. If terrorism didn't exist, Business would have to invent
it. It's just plain Good For Business.

'Rogue States'...good grief!
