Cool... I had no idea that the U.S. can selectively disable civilian GPS signals in specific areas (thereby preventing things like our enemies from using our satellites to move their troops). Makes sense.

I used to sell GPS's at E&B Marine, and I was working there at the time when they changed the civilian band GPS to be military accurate. I thought it was fantastic, but I asked the rep about this very thing and was told about the regional disabling.
This was 6+ years ago, and I didn't even remember till you mentioned this. Thanks.
