I had also posted this story earlier, then deleted it once I learned that. However, I did find this interesting doc about real ADS-B spoofing, which does not appear to be very easy:

Man, I wrote that comment at the end of a 14hr work day. The crazy thing is that I had seen that SDR slide when I first looked at this. Hours later, when I posted the comment, I reviewed it again and completely hallucinated the SDR slide away.
I need to check all the work I did towards the end of yesterday. Valuable lesson. Thanks.
That just says "you need to go outside, and own an SDR". It's very easy, there is no encryption nor authentication in the system
