Big News -- WAAS GPS is Operational for IFR

The difference is that a VOR outage affects only that VOR, so a workaround
exists using other VORs and the same equipment in the aircraft. A GPS outage
affects the system, at least within an area, so there are no alternative
stations to tune to for a work-around.

Bull****. GPS also works using multiple satellites and multiple frequencies.
If you are going to propose that the entire frequency band for GPS be jammed
or otherwise corrupted, then the same thing would work across the entire
VOR band as well.
