> The way this is implemented, it would be trivial to spoof, wouldn't it?

Yeah but that's pretty much the case with anything flying today. The idea that it's breaking federal law to spoof the ID and that it's relatively easy to catch the guilty party due to the short range of the transceiver is deterrent enough.

It's the equivalent of swapping car license plates, only with a greater likelihood and penalty of being busted.

There are lots of GPS-guided drones that don't need to talk to a transceiver mid-flight.
