Re: Protection on flights



Of course the best way to prevent a hijacking is to have a pilotless aircraft controlled completely by a combimation of on-board and ground based systems. It's doable now and with sufficient back-ups would probably be safer than flying in a human piloted plane.

You could prevent hijackers hacking into the system with multiple security lockouts, and one flight only ground over-ride keys.

Of course there's the big question of whether people would fly in a plane that didn't have a pilot.

Scenario Idea:

The cell are hired to investigate the destruction of an experimental pilotless airliner in a crash: was it an accident or deliberate?

Was the destruction ordered by a rival plane developeer or more sinisterly was it WIJ trying to either take control of the airliner or keep hijackable palnes in the sky?
