Re:Planes are having their GPS hacked. Could new clocks keep them safe?

The title is clickbait. It implies hacking the plane's hardware, which is not occurring.
GPS jamming is unfortunate, but relying on U.S. GPS is foolish anyway (as the article also points out).
Planes still have inertial navigation systems. It worked before GPS, why not now? GPS for tracking phone users should go away anyway. If you are in an unknown city, but a damn paper map. No tracking and you absorb the big picture much faster.
