69. Wrong

I am extremely careful about claiming someone is dead wrong, but you're just dead wrong here. You're talking about analog radar systems with analog processing systems which were almost completely phased out by the FAA by 9/11, especially on the east coast. The FAA still has some analog radars in use still today as they did on 9/11, but very few (if any) are or were located on the east coast and even for those they are married to digital systems which convert the old analog data well before any controller ever sees it. Modern air traffic control systems use digital automation systems which paint every single radar target just like every other. A B-52's radar signature will look no different to a controller than a two seat Cessna 150. Even if you want to roll back the clock by 20 years or so when the FAA was commonly using analog systems, those systems painted far more false targets than the digital systems that replaced them, which means you would have an even bigger pile of needles.
