A few years ago, I remember the FAA saying that primary radar
would be eventually phased out at many enroute radar sites. AOPA
was opposed to this. A number of beacon only radar sites are in
place today, and they would become more prevalent.

In the wake of terrorism concerns, is this proposal dead?

The FAA's mission hasn't changed post-9/11. Thus, the
FAA desire to dump primary radars is just as dumb now
as before.
