As former aviator working in tech it, amuses me how periodically on this site, someone learns how the aviation community is flying around using GPS and simple UHF/VHF radios and NAVAIDs, immediately goes into a tizzy about how unsecure and hackable it allegedly is, and then goes round the bend about things like encrypted comms and starts answering a question no one asked.
Like, sure, in the military there's the ability to do various and sundry things to secure your comms and navigation which are not worth discussing here. But in the civilian world, there's largely no reason to go to the trouble and expense.
