Do whatever you want to a GPS signal any time, anywhere. Not one person
would die as a result.


That's an odd conjecture to make, considering how many even in this
thread have mentioned how much some pilots rely on GPS in instrument
conditions. It's not hard to imagine a fair number of dark / cloudy
accidents in mountainous areas if a GPS signal was mucked with..
either by changing the "altitude" or even just "moving" the plane over
a mile or so.
