Question please, it says that jamming these is more difficult. But doesn't that mean it's not impossible, so at some point in the future it could happen?

  Yeah, these are jammable on day 1 - they're just more difficult to jam, so you need make your jammers either more powerful or closer to the target. The cost and scale of disruption matters.

  > it's not impossible That is true for almost all security. It is not impossible to break cryptography, but it is costly enough as to not be viable in most cases. Most of security is about to make it costly enough to break as to not be worth it.

    as the saying goes, one doesnt need to outrun the hungry bear. one just need to outrun the other fellow that serve as bait...

    One time pad cryptography generated with truly random pads with no reuse of keys and no leaks in key transmission being the big exception. But yea, calling it inconvenient for most uses is quite an understatement. It did serve many spies well though during the Cold War using numbers stations, even if the Soviets were known to take short cuts by just having a room full of people randomly hitting keyboards rather than using true randomness.

  Yes. Jamming is just introducing noise that drowns out our signal. E.g. reduces the signal to noise ratio.
