Interesting article in The Register today about how TCAS could be vulnerable to spoofing, so you'd be flying along and get an alert when there was nothing around.

It references a paper:

It seems they can do it in a lab but are some way from demonstrating that it can be done in the real world.

Creating ghosts in the machine. I suspect it would be relatively easy to do.

Interesting article, paper and thread.

Reminds me of a recent re-run of an Air Craft Investigation episode "1 July 2002, Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937, a Tupolev Tu-154 passenger jet, and DHL Flight 611" in a pending collision where I think the TCAS told an aircraft to climb whilst the ATC told them to descend. Interesting to conjecture as to who had control.
