What would be the point of that, c195?

ILS27, think through the threat scenario in detail and then say whether your proposal would make us any safer. In that scenario we need a team of hostiles ruthless and well-trained enough to: a) hijack an airliner by force b) do it so quickly that there's no chance, not even 5 seconds, for an RT distress call c) pilot and navigate aircraft to destination/target...All that, but NOT be able to make a few radio calls. Would any number of Typhoons even based at LHR make us safer?
