How true is this, really? In an aircraft, you are between the ground
and the satellite. How does someone on the ground interfere with the
signal?



I don't believe that the antenna for the GPS is directional enough
that someone off axis couldn't put a signal into your system- after
all, a single antenna is used to pick up every satellite above the
horizon.
