I think these tests should happen military excersizes or not. In fact turn the entire constellation off for 24 hours at random periods once every few years or so.
The over reliance on the GPS system is downright scary, and I doubt we even have a real idea of where the second-order effects lie. What happens when all the CDMA towers lose clock sync? Are airmen still able to actually navigate? Etc. etc.
Civilian preparedness needs to be part of national security "training" as well - and GPS is one of the largest vulnerabilities we have as a nation no one talks about.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people that I will ride with to go somewhere local, yet they will insist on using the nav system.
