This is correct SA just returned a random inaccuracy with the cooridinates
returned from the satellites. An average of 20+ readings would yield a
fairly accurate position, of course if you were an international terrorist
that would have given the US time to launch a cruise missle at you  before
you had an accurate enough fix from your handheld non military GPS :-)

I honestly don't know, I only ever had a GPS after selective availability
was turned off.

personally, I would have expected a DoP to still let you see 12 sats, but
with less accuracy..
