[time-nuts] Spoofing GPS

Too little, too late. Iran proved they could get through their supposedly
"encrypted" system (yeah, right, encrypted).
Civil air patrol uses volunteers to fly border missions for under $100 an hour,
which is far cheaper than those drones. But it doesn't make the drone
manufacturers any money.
You may ask, why not just use GPS spoofing to make airliners crash? Well, for
one they have multi-sensor navigation systems. The drones could do that too.
But they also have live pilots who can take over and fly even if all nav systems
go out (unless totally in IMC in which case it can get dicey). Oh, wait, they
took down LORAN (although maybe coming back!) and want to cut back on VORs (very
bad idea). Maybe I shouldn't say this, wouldn't be terribly hard to do a
multi-platform spoofer.
I can't get wound up over this, too much to do tonight...
