A potentially easier option would be to find a stored aircraft, rehab it under the cover of darkness, then fly it out.

Yeah basically the two transponders communicate and arrive at a resolution; such is the goodness of this system that aircraft should obey TCAS resolution advisories over air traffic control (
this mid-air crash happened when somebody listened to TCAS, and the other guy didn't). 2 planes heading straight at each other, one will get "climb, climb" and "increase climb" if he's not going up fast enough, and the other "descend, descend".
Not sure if jeffman was talking about alarms going off on the ATC side of things if two targets are too close together. Answer is yes. But again, if one of those targets are only primary... things are very much complicated. Radar can't tell if the primary is going to present a conflict for the secondary.
