[time-nuts] From GPS World - Lightsquared ...

If you think you're being tracked by the police or
a private-eye (ie: ugly divorce!) one might think
that a GPS jammer would be to their advantage.
Buy one on e-bay and you think all is OK.

Why would anyone jam GPS, other then because they want the bandwidth
for their own service.   What is the market for gps jamers.  Seems
silly you can't hide position or time

I can understand jamming cell phones, to keep the noise down in some
area or maybe stop them from being used in prisions or whatever
