Think I will just buy a shitload of these and store them away until 2013 arrives and friends, friends' parents and friends of friends' parents starts calling for help.
GPS signals are currently using direct sequence spread spectrum signals to enable every sattelite to transmit on the same frequency. There are two signals, the "free-to-everyone" C/A code, and the military-only P-code (transmitted on two frequencies). The C/A code has a relatively short ss-word and the P-code has a very long ss-word, making it hard to jam...
I would guess most of the jamming mentioned in TFA is aimed at commercial GPS receivers. Now if the Chinese make something that can jam the military GPS receivers, that is something worth writing about, but TFA doesn't mention it.

Lockheed are allowed to export the F35. They signed a contract with Norway last year, and if I remember correctly, Netherlands before that.
Outside NATO, that's another case though.
The american "left wing" and "right wing" are what we in Europe call "right wing" and "extreme fundie religious right-wing".

The problem is that these guys have mistaken PIRACY for PRIVACY.
Now every lobbyist is fighting for new ANTI-PRIVACY laws.
I look at these people, and I see nothing worth liking.
