Then all those 1200 transponder codes overflowed the input buffer on the secondary system, causing the feed to lock up. This would be easily solved by implementing user fees. With high enough user fees, all those transponders would be turned off instead of broadcasting 1200, and the spam cans would be flying at tree top level to avoid detection, which would prevent the primary radar from going down.
