Re: GPS shutdown

Homeland Security has requested and will soon mandate that all commercial vehicals transporting hazardous materials be equiped with GPS systems. They are saying they want us to be able to pinpiont the location of our vehcals at any given moment.
Guess this takes a little steam out of their argument.
I think Troutly is right, It wont happen.

Question

Why Garmin, Navman and all these guys don't build their own satellites? This will solve many 'problems'.

PS I think that the Gallileo sytem is coming on line in a few years so that will short many problems out Thank God
