Hey, lots of brainpower in this ng. What about this...
In "Wrath of Kahn", they took back control of the Enterprise by a secret override code known only to bridge officers.
Put this in every airliner, each with a unique and very secret code to take control of it. Now, you just have to keep a few thousand codes secret (1 floppy disc?) to protect the entire airline industry. This prevents ever having to shoot down one of our own airliners.
A 16 year old swedish kid was just arrested for organizing the breakins to hundreds of classified systems, NASA, DOD, etc. We don't know enough about security to protect important information. The codes would leak, and we'd have terrorists flying planes into buildings by remote control.
The best way to prevent hijacking is to physically seal the pilot/copilot off from the rest of the passengers, and to have armed undercover marshalls amongst the passengers on random flights. Cheap and effective.
