Does anyone know if there is a code (verbal or otherwise) to confirm or deny an "all is well" statement from a pilot?

guy on msnbc pointed out that IF the plane is being hijacked, the pilot may not be able to relay that to anyone, so they are being very cautious.

No idea, but that would be a very good idea, until the morons that hijack planes get a hole of the code. Have to change it month to month, or perhaps faster than that. Make it specific to each flight, known only to the Pilot before every take off. Pretty interesting idea, could save a TON of effort on the ground in chasing down wild geese.

Yeah, they just say, "Nevermind."
