The scariest thing in that article was the bolded text:

Quote:
DHS is attempting to identify and mitigate GPS interference through its new 'Patriot Watch' and 'Patriot Shield' programs, but the effort is poorly funded, still in its infancy, and is mostly geared toward finding people using jammers, not spoofers.
Don't bother to make the drone more secure, hire thousands of more people, buy thousands more trucks driving through neighborhoods looking for signals.....

I know, we should start using Glonass instead of our own GPS system......
