It will probably be easier to spot them, since very few planes will show up on radar and not on the GPS system. It might be enough to go take a visual immediately once this is fully online.
I thought the way that they historically avoided detection was to quite literally fly below the radar. Wouldn't that still work with this new system, they just wont show up anywhere?
There are lots of other ways it's being monitored. But as for the flying below the radar, there are these along the southern border and Gulf of Mexico:
They'll ignore the rules as I'm sure they already do.
As you'll see from the various documentaries, historically planes operating illegally and/or doing illegal things will fly "under the radar" and keep their transponder turned off to evade the authorities.
