Bush Prepares for Possible GPS Shutdown

So, you're saying there are no GPS approaches whose missed approach
procedures rely upon GPS?

No, I didn't read that anywhere in his post. I believe his intent was to
say that it's obvious that many a liberal will go nuts about how we're all
screwed now that the government has a plan to shut down GPS (which I had
always understood that this was in place anyway). If terrorists are somehow
using our own GPS system against us, then I'm all for shutting it down (or
limiting it to military use somehow).

More the reason to keep the VOR's working.

Gotta be a "liberal" to be concerned about that, huh?

Now this line of reasoning scares me. That, and that the previous
sentence will be completely misconstrued by all the red-staters.

You forget...the red-staters are the one's with the guns.....
