Oh, and don't believe the hype out of Blakley's mouth for a second.
ADS-B is not being deployed so they can "decommission radar". That will
not happen in our lifetime due to security concerns.
I'm happy to hear, that someone thought about that. It would be a
simple matter to spoof the positional data I would think.
I fear that the *real* reason the FAA is pushing ADS-B is for billing purposes.
I would guess the reason has as much to do with compatibility with the
ATC system products of Boeing and LockMart.
With the kind of reliable and accurate position data facilitiated by ADS-B,
they could charge us by the mile.
Not if we don't let Congress out of oversight responsibilities for FAA
funding.
