| Technically all RF communications are "public." You have to use encryption if you want security. |

| Yeah GPS is not the people's airwaves it is operated by the US Space Force, I suggest you read up on your history. |

I didn't want to imply that regular people could simply inject data into what's emitted by GPS satellites. Sorry if that wasn't clear, but I am aware that GPS is operated by the US military. |
