"Fun" with a $30 GPS Jammer

http://j.mp/f3Gy9G  (New Scientist)

    "In the tower at the airport, air-traffic controllers peered at their
     monitors only to find that their system for tracking incoming planes
     was malfunctioning. At the Naval Medical Center, emergency pagers used
     for summoning doctors stopped working. Chaos threatened in the busy
     harbour, too, after the traffic-management system used for guiding
     boats failed. On the streets, people reaching for their cellphones
     found they had no signal and bank customers trying to withdraw cash
     from local ATMs were refused. Problems persisted for another 2 hours."
