Most civilian aircraft crossing the Atlantic pass position reports on radio frequencies and have transponders. Seems like as slow as a 727 is and without a transponder, it could be picked up on radar and intercepted. Any thoughts?

Yup
I was listening to A/C calling in to SF Internation on HF (it a hobby - OK?) One heavy from China was a little slow to answer and a bit off course - he got a visit...and an escort.
Now maybe if they flew out of Cuba and made like a MIG.....well, who knows then?
