So in theory and possibly in practice it's possible for a guy with a computer in the airport parking lot to fake ADS-B signals and create a phantom airplane or airplanes. My question is how does the ATC equipment handle this? If there is a fake ADS-B signal, but no corresponding aeroplane detected by the primary radar, then does the fake plane just not appear on the screen? What if it was over a part of the USA which isn't covered by radar, what if there were hundreds of fake signals?
