I already posted this link in the epic nope thread that is a sibling to this one, but the paper linked from Wikipedia speaks of an experimental implementation with a return time of 1 ns:

That's cool. I wonder how difficult it would be to implement in practice.

There are papers going back to at least 2005 (this one, a top search result, is cited 390 times: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/sc2005-distance.pdf ), so it would not be all that surprising if there are some existing commercial implementations. The current rash of thefts seem to come down to the systems being completely naive to amplification attacks though.
