Presidential Order (I think it was during W's tenure, circa 2004) to unfuze the civillian signal. It can still be fuzzed, by Presidential order, during a national emergency. Say, we go to war with Russia/China, and we would prefer that their precision guided munitions are...less precise.
Assuming GLONASS is similarly scrambled. I'd imagine most munitions can utilize both systems.
