That GPS jammer is a hoax - it doesn't work.

Unless, of course, you happen to know a thing or two about GPS. This might help, you can also check the FAA web site (look in the ATC issues section).

I'm not saying that jamming GPS is impossible, merely that the specific device that made headlines a some weeks ago was later exposed as a fraud. (But not before having been sold to Iraq for mucho dinero.)

Incidentally, active jammers make great homing beacons.

Nice to see some common sense on this subject for a change! :)
