-Caveat Lector- -------- forwarded message -------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CharlesSmith) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 Subj: Military Jams East Coast GPS GPS BLACKOUT ON U.S. EAST COAST The FAA, Washington, D.C. The U.S. is staging a multinational military exercise that will black out GPS signals starting the week of Feb. 22. The Global positioning signals from U.S. satellites will be jammed up to 6 hours during night military operations from Jacksonville, Florida to Newark New Jersey. The FAA has notified commercial and private pilots of the outages. However, the agency did not say how long the GPS jamming will be in effect or what areas they will cover. <snip> TRACK ME - BOMB ME Silicon Valley, California Microchip Technologies Inc. has developed a R/F identification chip which costs 30 to 35 cents in quantities of 10,000. The new low cost RF chip emits a 154 bit code when illuminated with a 13.56 MHz signal. The chip is intended to locate packages, and airline baggage. However, the same R/F signaling features can be abused to secretly track U.S. citizens. The R/F chip could be included inside autos or placed in electronic items such cellular phones, and computers. One source noted the chip R/F generators can be made powerful enough to disable the electronic ignition in a car or ruin the computer in which it is installed. The intention is to provide law enforcement with the ability to remotely disable vehicles, computers or handguns made with advanced electronic safety mechanisms. One such gun, called the "smart gun", was demonstrated by the Federal Government. During the Gulf war, U.S. forces were able to locate Iraqi command posts because of a similar R/F emitter chip secretly deployed by the NSA. The so called "bomb-me" chip was installed in printers sold to Iraqi air defense units. The chip emitted a coded radio signal in the Gigahertz range whenever the printer was in use. During the war, USAF R/F intelligence aircraft were able to pin-point the faint signals from the "bomb-me" chips and pass on the printer locations to F-117A Stealth bombers. <snip> Charles R.
