What really gets me about this is how the quarantined the aircraft and searched it even after it was known that it was a false alarm.

In the pilot's defense, it was a lousy idea to use "flight" as the secret code word.

Note to pilot: when they say "squawk altitude", don't put your altitude into the transponder code.

 
Man On Fire 2008-04-12 02:06:58 PM  
What amazes me is the security response to this was actually sane. 20 minutes to check before they let everyone off? in north america it would have been 20 hours, a full cavity search, and the pilot would be a convicted felon.

Since it's impossible to make people say things other than the truth when you have a gun pointed at them...

Was the code word 'pristine'?

obscure?

He was making up for the four pilots who apparently forgot the damned word on September 11.

Since each plane had hijackers on board who had taken flight training, and presumably were familiar with that section of the AIM, I can see why they didn't get a chance to say it. And presumably, they didn't know that this wasn't going to be a typical "take me to Cuba" hijacking until they were either incapacitated or dead.

that was pretty funny. I'm not much of a Leno fan, or Croc Hunter fan, but that was good.
