Let me tell you that FAA and DHS has serious concerns regarding GPS jammers.

They will happily inform you of just how much trouble they went through
to identify the GPS jammer that regularly caused problems for a New
Jersey airport. They will also tell you that they saw 5 other GPS
jammers, but none of those affected the airport. It was a painful
learning experience for them.
