Detectors installed in turnpike toll booths could help locate Global Positioning System jammers, a Homeland Security Department official told a GPS conference Tuesday.
In November 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration experienced outages of a GPS system that provides precision landing information at Newark Liberty International Airport. Officials eventually traced the problem to a trucker on the adjacent New Jersey Turnpike who used a jammer to evade his company’s operations center. But the search took a year and a half.
