Jaba, the Smith argument was debunked years ago on exactly your premise.
The Uni of Texas claim is to mimic GNSS to "capture" a basic gps. Does this represent a security issue? Can a terrestrial signal be ignored by antenna mounted on upper surfaces of an aircraft? Does that then create issues with terrestrial L5 networks? Is the threat scaleable?
At this point I would call this as a good party trick. Open field testing at typical aviation environment is required.

Some old news from 2006...
"...Momin Khawaja of Ottawa was devising a way to fit a remote-controlled model airplane with explosives, a London terrorism trial of seven Britons charged with plotting to bomb sites in Britain heard yesterday.
What's more, the trial was told, a senior al-Qaeda figure in Pakistan wanted the men to unleash a simultaneous wave of bombings in Britain in 2004...
... told court yesterday that "Momin Khawaja and his brother were working on a GPS-navigated model airplane which could be fitted with explosives..."
