GPS jamming deviceIs someone snooping on you? Maybe you’re just paranoid; then again, maybe not. Well Chinavasion (no, I’m not making that name up) has a forthcoming GPS jamming device on their website that claims to be able to block signals over a range of 2 to 4 meters. Theoretically, that is enough to effectively eliminate the tracking threat. No word on availability, pricing or legality in the U.S.!

Why wouldn’t it be legal? Isn’t the GPS network developed for and by the government, with citizen access as a nice side benefit?

I suppose airlines would frown on its use.

Jamming any radio communication is a violation of the Federal Communications Act of 1934 and thus a federal crime. I’m sure this device would not be legal in the US.
