There are two types of GPS jamming.

There's GPS jamming by the military, mostly in war zones. This seldom effects airliners because they steer clear of active war zones.

Then there's GPS jamming by delivery drivers who don't want their boss watching over their shoulder all the time. When the article mentions jammers as small as a cellphone and costing less than $100, those are sold to drivers.

Delivery drivers don't jam LORAN or VOR, though - so it's not jammed by the second type.
