thanks Phil
2 really profound questions. Having answers for those would be beneficial to anybody wishing to interfere with lawful operation of international flights.

All that is required for the bad guys to get to that point is spinning some fiction around it to create a good enough cover story.

Hopefully the ones who know the answers are sufficiently intelligent NOT to post their answers here on a PUBLIC forum, and mostly you will receive the lesser-informed opinions, ie. more fiction to add to yours. Good luck with the novel.
