The operational operators who are operating their GPS devices for operational purposes may well have carried them in insulating cases of some sort at some point to avoid being located. As we all know it has fuck all to do with the satellites since that's a 1-way communication (as another anon explained), but there's plenty of tech out there used by the aforementioned class of operational personnel that is used to locate (or at least give a bearing on) electronic equipment. So if you think you have some enemy operators operating in your backyard you might deploy a few teams of your own, listen for electronic activity, do some triangulation, and bob is your aunt because he identifies as a woman. You may have noticed that military hardware often comes with a big bloated chassis like pic related, this is obviously to make it more physically resilient and to shield from muh EMPs, but also to limit the shit it emits. Whether or not the device in question happens to be a handheld GPS is by the by.
