GPS Jamming?

[Mortblanc]

That is why I got lost in the Mississippi backwoods cotton fields last month!

The Ruskies were jamming my Tom-Tom.

Cotton as far as the eye could see and only an occasional parked tractor for a landmark, I thought I was going to have to get out my survival gear and build a new world right there.

Then I thought,,,NO! Not in Mississippi!

Fortunately I remembered that I could press "Home" and the Tom-Tom would get me out of there.

But hey, our radio signals bounce off those satellites, so do our TV and internet signals. We get paid services, weather reports, the latest news from Mars and all sorts of data bouncing around up there so even though jamming is a possibility there is that old adage that "everyone is doing it" and everyone is trying to prevent it also.

As for the Soviets?? They could not even keep Radio Free Europe blocked at their border.

And if they have access to all this good "blocking tech" why can't they keep the spam from Nigeria, India and Indonesia out of my E-mail?
