Absolutely, their use of it was for something trivial and my reason for using that example was to show how 'simple' and available the technology is if a couple of students could do it with lab equipment that anyone can buy (obviously you'd need deep pockets).
That it can "so easily" be spoofed (it's not a trivial hack to spoof and would, as far as I can see, take good knowledge of how GPS works and skill to implement) is worrying and it could have disastrous consequences if anyone decided to use it for malicious means but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a turnkey solution available to anyone who has the funds.
