GPS Spoofing
I found this particularly alarming, given RNAV (GPS) and the move towards WAAS and LAAS and the GPS dependencies of EGPWS.
(I'm sorry 3WE, that's a lot of acronyms).
What is the industry doing to prevent this from leading to a Total Air Disaster?

Last I knew, a powerful onboard computer looked at GPS, and LORAN and VOR and ADF and INS and maybe even BS and automatically integrated and compared the whole thing so there were a couple of acronyms to back up navigation -
And the computer even drew a pink line with an arrow to go here, since pilots are too stupid to find anything without electronic assistance.
...AND...most I-phones and even some airplanes have compasses.
Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
Meaning pretending they have no idea there ever could be a problem?
Be alert! America needs more lerts.
