I dont thing jamming them is feasible, and like the other poster said, most would just carry on to target. You have to mess with the GPS. and its not hard to do, i think Iran did this to nick that USA drone a few years ago.
I don't think you have any idea how big a deal it is to mess with GPS. Technically easy, but huge consequences.

So many things rely on it that it would never be authorised.
Shotguns would be a less contentious option than GPS jamming.
