Ewer and basin with the arms of Vlissingen, Jacques Bogaert (attributed to), 1608
Servants would go around with ewers and basins at the beginning and end of formal dinners. Water was
poured from the ewer over the hands of the distinguished guests, and the dirty water was caught in the basin. This ewer and basin were the property of Vlissingen. The city’s coat of arms – a crowned bottle – and its motto are engraved in the centre of the basin.

Security people decided to make fun of the fake "GPS protected" box of meat. Yes, it's security theater. But that's irrelevant.
Think for a moment that the store is using security theater boxes because people are DESPERATE ENOUGH TO STEAL MEAT.
That says a lot more about society than the "GPS protected" box.

EC chief's plane landed in Bulgaria using paper maps due to GPS outage
The head of the European Commission is on a visit to Bulgaria. Moreover, the main issue that worries Ursula von der Leyen is far from the issue of Bulgarian economic problems.Евгения (Военное обозрение)
For long GPS was based on US satellite network, then EU "said" they will make their own, and #Russia had its own but most western tech companies didn't use it ..
So, I'd say the US-DoD shut the network down (at least locally) right around the time she was lost in the air
Cell-phone-tower gps is accurate but not the real gps that interpolates sat.signals
