Yep, that the study. What to use the GPS system for? How about guiding a rudimentary missile launched off a ship 100 miles off the coast? The Chinese have already demonstrated their satellite killing ability, no doubt other countries can do it as well. Any number of possibilities to take down the GPS system. Did you read the report?

You mean one they just go shopping for from the black market?

Or has MacGuyver turned into a terrorist?

If they can afford to have what? 6 people? shipped to the US, put up, in flight training I'm sure they can afford black market Russian guided missiles.
