Last night I was flipping channels after the war started (doesn't it seem weird
to type that phrase?) and I happened upon Screensavers on TechTV. They were
talking about the probability that when the action on Iraq got into full swing,
selective availability would be turned on again to help hide troop locations
from the Iraqis. Has anyone else heard this? It does make sense. Do you
think that there would be an official statement?
Mind you, I am not complaining one little bit. Whatever it takes to get our
people home in one piece, I'm all for it. Merely curious.
Oh yes, they also mentioned that accuracy would go to about 100 meters (and
then joked that under certain conditions that's all you can get from a GPSr
anyway). Does that sound about right?
Just wondering,
Susan
