There isn't any need for that sort of communication to do

Well, an investigation in how these planes were taken over is
certainly called for. I wonder if various types of gas that
could knock out everyone not protected are guarded against
sufficiently by airport security. That is one way I could think
of, off the top of my head, that this could be done without
firearms being on board.

government is not watching all of us twenty four hours a day
with full control over all technology if we start acting in
really aberrant ways?
