What would a senior officer in the IDF do if they suddenly intercepted rogue radio transmissions from a disguised portable device that was saying its the missing 777 thats been placed on board another 777 about to land in Israel?
Or about to land in NYC?
Do they trust the pilot and his ID, or do they jump the gun literally?
And say in that cargo package is several of the passengers cell phones, and they are all timed to be turned on also?
The actual jet is trash, no way it can be effectively spoofed and inserted covertly, too many IFF protocols are going to go into effect. Besides I think the prize was NOT the jet, something else, passengers or cargo.
