The serious problem with some of these devices is that they're effectively bricked by having received an invalid signal once. You don't have to sit nearby to cause this effect, you could drive across the country putting out 30 mile radius bursts of bad GPS signals, and kill a not insignificant portion of the nation's infrastructure.

Drive? All you have to do is put it in a Pelican case, mark it as "video equipment", and ship it on a cross country flight in the cargo hold. GPS receivers are already designed for signals from satellites; picking up something transmitted every 10-60 seconds from 6 miles up is going to be easy.
Good luck tracking that signal down.
