Given the cost of the assets, $200 worth of hardware is pretty trivial.

One security method would be that you'd have 50,000+ tags generating signals in a given area. What's the Command Track you want to hit with the PGM vs what's the empty container or the container full of TP. Sure, if you hit the TP supply for the day, I'm sure a bunch of people would be pissed, but....it doesn't do much for your mission. If a unit has gone tactical it would be trivial to disable such a system.
