I'm in the Bay Area, should I be concerned that my GPS will be disrupted? "Western U.S." is a big area. Maybe I should click on it just to be sure? Heeeey, yeah, clickbait. Maybe an innocent mistake from a headline writer who lives in the Eastern US? Neah. Clickbait.


They say Oakland will be impacted. Presumably the whole bay area will be too.


How much information do you want them to shoehorn into a headline? Be realistic please.


I dunno, how about "USAF Is Jamming GPS in Nevada For Largest Ever Red Flag Air War Exercise"


They could also say they’re jamming GPS in a radio room in an Air Force base, but it wouldn’t change the fact that the jamming will impact a multiple state area, including Colorado and the coast of California.


That depends on the strength and method of jamming, which is the point of this complaint.


"In Western US" not "Western US".
