I have for a long time believed that the biggest smoking gun proof of remote control highjacking, and therefore an inside job, is the FACT that not ONE of EIGHT pilots, and over a dozen crew members, were able to activate the ' Highjack ' alert, which according to professional pilots here on ATS is as simple as flipping a switch. It takes just a second to do, yet not ONE pilot or other crew member managed to do so.
So ....What about all of the passengers? Wouldn't they fly around the cabin too?
I always hear about this alleged hijack ''switch'', that only takes one second to activate. Can anyone point it out to me?
I was always under the assumption that only the transponder can send a hijack signal.
Why would anyone except the pilots have access to the transponder or any other hijack switch in the passenger cabin?

1. What is the procedure to change the transponder code?
Thanks for the reply John.
Most of the questions that I have asked pertain to pre-9/11 procedures. If you would, I have a couple of more questions.
1. What is the procedure to change the transponder code?
2. When you say two seconds, is that under ideal conditions?
3. Do you believe that you could do it in two seconds after someone had breached the cockpit?

WASHINGTON - In some cases, the attacks were swift and ruthless, the hijackers slitting the throats of passengers and stabbing flight attendants to gain immediate control of the cabin. They probably used the universal "Boeing key" to unlock the cockpit door and kill the pilots before they could even touch their radios.
The box cutter knives seems to be the accepted story but didn't I read on this forum that there was no evidence that this was all they were armed with? (wish I could find that). I think it said that one of the 'phone calls' made by passengers from one of the planes stated that someone had a gun and even a bomb.
OK. Let me take Flight 77, the Pentagon flight as an example. Flown by Naval officer Chick Burlingame who participated in the original games simulating a hijacked airplane being flown into the Pentagon

Playing fast and loose with the facts are we?
Here's Barbara Honegger:
...the main pilot of the 9-11 Pentagon plane, former Navy and then Navy Reservist pilot Charles Burlingame, had recently, in a Reserve assignment at the Pentagon, been part of a Task Force that drafted the Pentagon's emergency response plan on what to do in case a plane hit the building - which his own plane then did. It is therefore very possible - in fact extremely likely, if not certain - that this 'task force' that Flight 77 pilot "Chick" Burlingame was part of was the Cheney counterterrorism preparedness task force, and that the Pentagon plane pilot, therefore, directly knew and even worked with/for Cheney. and
Burlingame's 9-11 Pentagon plane not only hit the Pentagon that morning, it struck a Command and Control center for that morning's counterterrorism "game" exercise, killing most, if not all, of the "players". We know this because Army personnel from Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey were on special duty assignment at the Pentagon that morning for an emergency response exercise and were killed when Burlingame's plane hit. Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey also happens to be the headquarters for White House/Presidential communications, including therefore probably also for Air Force One (this is discoverable) -- and recall the warning "Air Force One is next" and the 'secret code' which was called into the White House that morning which WH press secretary Ari Fleischer revealed as a means of explaining why Pres. Bush left Florida for a military base and did not return to the White House. This "warning" was probably called into the White House, if true, by either the Ft. Monmouth White House communications headquarters and/or the Ft. Monmouth counterterrorism exercise "game" players temporarily at the Pentagon that morning.
This nexus is completely and totally beyond coincidence....
