-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's a moot point anyway, it's pretty clear the hijackers had flight training of some sort AND were well organized, and would be familiar with the steps that the pilots would take.

Then you would probably consider it a good thing that the code he gave is not, in fact, the transponder code for hijacking. And no, I'm not going to detail what the correct one is. Go ask a pilot (such as the one living in my house), if you want to know. Pretty much all of them know it; even those who don't fly planes one could reasonably hijack. - -- ********************************************************************** ***** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [email protected] http://www.lightbearer.com/~lucifer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBO6EwS8p0j1NsDQTPEQJ4MACg/rVnB3BwbzLW70NBNY0MxigFyjgAoLJ4 b0EVfRCBWRyA3LnGzB2pGsZm =eZ+e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
