The wink link in Air Traffic control is not GPS but communications.

The
FAA still uses AM VHF
transmitters and receivers for AT communications. Very easy to jam and
disrupt. One idiot with one radio could
spread havoc around a major US airport. If the person stays mobile
virtually impossible to locate and detect.
