I talked with a park ranger who had used a high-precision GPS
system which decoded the selective availability encrypted
signal. Access to the device was very tightly controlled and it
had a control-meta-shift-whoopie which erased the key should the
device be in danger of being captured. And this was a relatively
low security device.
