This is gonna be sweet for guys running to the Gulf Stream... NOT. After all these years of trying to wean us off of LORAN, now they want to jam up the GPS?

Can't wait to see how many lost fishermen have a new excuse for their wives when they get home in the middle of the night. "No, seriously honey. The gub'mint was jamming the GPS, and we ended up in Nassau instead of Port Everglades. Took us all night to get back across!"
