If it does happen, remember, there has never been a GPS receiver made that cannot be wholly defeated by the proper application of tin foil....
Jeez, and to think I was disgusted when they wouldn't let me pump my own gas when I traveled through there.....
Of course, you may have trouble actually finding tin foil. Perhaps you mean aluminum foil?
You said — “If it does happen, remember, there has never been a GPS receiver made that cannot be wholly defeated by the proper application of tin foil....”
Very true, but then you open yourself up to punitive penalties for violating the law. I would imagine that there are going to be some draconian measures for those who try to override the system...
Copper jacketed lead would be a better solution.
Boy, that brought back memories! Back in the 70s I took the family from California to Oregon on a three-week RV holiday. We entered Oregon and I thought the place was beautiful.
Strike One. We hit the first gas station inside their border and I started pumping gas. The attendant came running out yelling, "You're breaking the law! You're breaking the law!" WTF? Then we learn that we drivers are too stupid to pump our own gas and might spill some, creating a fire hazard.
Strike Two. Next we hit their Welcome Center and were handed a questionnaire, asking among other things, would I pay them for a map of the state? Mind you, we've been all over the country and always got a free map plus tons of brochures bragging up the particular state. In Louisiana we even got free coffee.
Strike Three. We enter a coastal State Park and are told that since we aren't Oregonians, we have to pay an extra $2 daily to stay there. We are also informed that since the parks are maintained by license fees on RVs in Oregon, "it is only fair" that out-of-state RVers are taxed also. I mention to the sweet young thing that perhaps Oregonians can afford RVs only because tourists like us spend money there. Blank stare. The next morning we headed for Washington state and Canada and never spent any money in Oregon again, other than to buy enough gas to get us up to Washington.
At that time, Oregon had a three-legged economy - fishing, timber and tourism. They have killed the first two and ticked off the third. Dunno how much it has changed, but back then the wife made the perceptive comment that all the new cars were from out of state - the locals had junkers.
