Gizmodo corrects their article: GPS jamming affects above 5K feet, not 50 feet!
Gizmodo has now corrected their earlier article to clarify that the FAA announced GPS jamming will only affect aircraft above 5000 feet, not above 50 feet (the latter, of course, would include vast numbers of buildings). This makes much more sense. The confusion probably relates to the difference between absolute altitude and "flight levels" -- in this case FL50. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
