Some are saying this might indicate something is about to happen as this sort of broad-scale GPS jamming test is rather unusual. In addition to the seizure of new consumer nightvision systems, it raises some questions.

It certainly does raise some questions. And if the FBI can "eminent domain" those things, where does it end? Water? Food? Phones? Electricity? Cut off all our connectivity? The 'invisible' government is out of control!

This is the first I've heard of eminent domain being used to take goods rather than land. I thought that it had to be for "public use", although that has been interpreted very broadly. Of course, with civil asset forfeiture they can pretty much pillage with impunity anyways.
