But that is exactly what ADS-B In will do/mean imply, unless/until it is fully integrated into the aircraft systems. Maybe the pollies (or whoever is feeding them this nonsense) think it can be bolted onto the TCAS, overnight job, done... problem solved.
Indeed , and they should leave TCAS alone , it is a totally independent last minute safety tool, based on SSR radar detection and should not be integrated with anything else that can modify its (still not perfect) logic.
ADS-B is very vulnerable to jamming and spoofing and cannot be used for anything else than information to visually acquire traffic in VMC in my opinion.
