I think it will always be possible to spoof because carriers have to allow forwarded and transferred calls to pass originating CID.

Instead of the knee jerk reaction to ban spoofed CID they should
legislate a method to authenticate -valid- CID.
This is like trying to ban spam, when a better solution is to validate legitimate senders.
