North Korea Jamming GPS Signals In South Korea
Fluffeh writes "North Korea has been looking for new and inventive ways to mess with South Korea. It seems that their missile launch fizzled a bit though, so those wacky folks from the North have bought a few GPS jamming trucks from Russia and are now blocking GPS signals around their city of Kaeson. While Kaeson is around 60 Km inside their borders, the jamming circle is around 100 Km, so it actually covers good parts of South Korea including the airports at Inchon and Gimpo. While no accidents have been caused as yet, it has caused quite some disruption and has made ocean going craft suffer as well due to their heavy reliance on GPS signals."
Well I have no idea about such a law, but if you find a way to make North Korea actually follow an international law, pleas let the world know ASAP.

Good to know the North Koreans have extra money to send to the Russians and can afford to maintain jamming trucks.
Sorry, but gray text on gray background is making my eyes bleed.
There is a way. But a law of war is that you should not use weapons that cost more than what you destroy with them.
That's not really a law, it's more of a guideline.
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.
Thanks for the update, Hawkeye.
If you mod me down the terrorists will have won
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
This whole middle eastern conflict has been handled all wrong by both administrations.
Yes. They fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
