How to hurt yourself with GPS
OK. Let's combine a few things:
- Lufthansa offers WLAN on planes. It's called FlyNet. Until now, on two flights you can surf the web in the air.
- There are missiles which use GPS (e.g. the AGM-84E)
- Now: There is GPS for your notebook - and it is cheap!
Conclusion: There is a slight possibility that you can transmit the exact coordinates of an airplane with a simple notebook or pocket sized computer via internet to some kind of service, which again tells the missile where to go. Right?
