Even if it was politically feasible, it would be idiotic to add remote
control to airliners. After all, about the only deterrent right now to
terrorists crashing airliners is that they have to die with the plane.
Given them a remote control, and they don't even need to do that.


It is provocative to look at something from a different angle. Try these:
(1) with a plane configured like this real "terrorists" are not even
necessary they can just be figmentary patseys. (2)Alternatively, if real
the terrorists can be expecting to merely hijack the plane when in fact
they were set up to die as patseys. (3)And yes, real terrorists could just
have the remote as you suggest but those terrorists would have to be very
special terrorists to be able to swap identical planes. Even more
fascinating is the morphing together of all three of these scenarios.
