Currently, in the US, GPS accuracy is "limited" to 4 meters. The days of it being more limited are long gone.
As far as military uses, when using a bomb, 4 meters can be a clean miss. Or, for a building, not so much.
Yes, Selective Availability which limited accuracy to 100 M, was turned off in 2000, and the feature has been removed from modern GPS satellites, so it is extremely unlikely that it will be turned back on. However, the speed at which consumer GPS receivers can operate is limited to something like 180 MPH (if memory serves me correctly). That make them fast enough for a car, but too slow for a bomb.
