Sentinel project research reveals UK GPS jammer use
http://j.mp/zncebm (BBC)
"GPS jammers are believed to be mostly used by people driving vehicles
fitted with tracking devices in order to mask their whereabouts. In
one location the Sentinel study recorded over 60 GPS jamming incidents
in 6 months. The research follows concern that jammers could
interfere with critical systems which rely on GPS."
