Interesting read, sound a little bit dangerous if someone has malicious intent.

Glad someone read through it, thank you! :)

It is, indeed, dangerous, especially in the hands of the wrong people. I find it rather amusing that plane positioning technology is so vulnerable to a $20 piece of hardware and that there's no clear indication of an immediate response to this threat. It's also rather interesting whether airplane ticket sales would go down, if a major news network informs the wide audience of this problem.
