GPS jamming

[AntarcticPilot]

And what about those civil GPS jammers? They have a small radius, but can they be dangerous? I wonder if there will be a couple of hunderds of them...

Worth bearing in mind that these things are illegal in the UK, as they are unlicensed transmitters. In the usual UK madness, it is legal to sell them, but illegal to use them without a license - which you can't get. So, if you use them to (for example) fudge driving hours, then if you get done for a traffic offence, you are also quite likely to be got for having an unlicensed transmitter.
