He probably did, along the lines of Sir, it didn't work.
Personally, I think we should INCREASE crypto over this. Put a crypto
imbedded radio in the planes control electronics, with the key known only
to the FAA, and existing only for that flight. If there are flight
problems, hit a switch from the tower and take over the plane from the
ground. Either instruct the autopilot to land at a pre-determined
contingency location, fly it by remote from a simulator, or blow it up
before it can be used as a battering ram. The former two useful for
on-flight emergencies too, such as an unconsious pilot. Something else to
consider. Knockout gas in the passenger compartment and a solid door
between passenger compartment and cockpit.
Also, why are we putting so many clerks in a handful of offices
anyway? Isn't this supposed to be the age of the paperless office?
Shoot, this time next week, 3-inch pocket knives are going to be on the
proscribed list for commercial flights, when the opposite should be true.
