I think the article said it will only be disabled for aircraft above 40,000 feet.
If they turned it off in a populated area, some people couldn't find their way to or from work.
Yes that's what the linked article said right at the beginning:
"Starting today and continuing intermittently until the 30th of June, the Navy is doing something that will knock out GPS signals in the Mojave Desert. They won't say what that something is, though.
The FAA has issued a warning to all "aircraft that rely on GPS," (your bi-plane is fine) that once someone gets around 40,000 feet in the air on the 7th, 9th, 21st, 23rd, 28th, and 30th of June, between 9:30am and 3:30pm, their GPS will not work."
