Doesn't your boss notice when you're using a GPS jammer?

[Abe Swanson]

I read today this article about the use of GPS jammers to fool your
boss who puts in a GPS tracking device into your vehicle.

But, doesn't the boss see no signal coming from your vehicle when
you operate the GPS jammer?

Wouldn't that be suspicious in and of itself?

And, how did the feds triangulate right down to the guy's red
Ford F150 truck on the same day that the GPS jamming occurred?

The boss probably gets some interference at times during the day. They
guy may only plug it in when he is "off route" and does not want to be
tracked to the tittie bar he frequents. Once back on the road to his
destination, he can unplug it and perhaps not be noticed.

The Feds obviously have the equipment to track a signal. This may not
have been the first time they had a disruption and they may have been
well prepared. Airports are near buys highways and passing cars may
have been causing problems here and there but this guy was stationary
so easily tracked.

It isnt hard to blame it on an intermittent fault in the GPS.

It isnt that hard to work out where the jammer is.
