Hmmm... Lest we forget, I've been warning for many years now that terrorists will use GPS as a drone bomb guidance system. I have warned not to get totally reliant on GPS based systems. I have received much derision and abuse over this subject. Well, its here now...
ADS-B needs GPS to function. Terrorist bomb drones also use GPS to hit their targets. The escalating abilitys of the terrorist drone makers means it wont be long now before there is a major drone bomb incident in Australia. At this time there is no real way to stop GPS guided terrorist bomb drones except to scramble fighter jets at a million plus dollars per drone shot-down, or, turn off GPS.... turn off GPS and what are all those ADS-B reliant users going to do ?
Israel now has a bit of experience with terrorist drones and with the best airforce on the planet they still don't know what to do about the problem. And it will only get worse...

Until such time as there is a viable anti-terrorist drone defence we should retain all radars and non GPS nav aids... what's left of them at any rate..
