Howard might be correct, and I might be naive -- but I am not convinced that
the US will shut down the GPS system in case of conflict. In the first place,
the military has a whole lot depending on the GPS system. In addition to that,
everything from the banking industry to the power industry is using GPS as an
integral part of their operations. It is hard to imagine the chaos that would
result if GPS were shut down.
