I’m pretty sure that if a missile landed 30 feet away from me, it would still kill me

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I’m wondering the same thing. If you’re launching a goddamn ballistic missile, I’m pretty sure you’re ok with being within a few extra yards of your target.

I can see other reason the government might limit gps for non-military use, but if you’re claiming it’s ballistic missiles I call bullshit.

The question is that if the consumer GPS is used on a missile, it will enter a deactivated mode, it's not just limiting accuracy
