Preventing the Use of Commercial Aircraft as Weapons
"Many things changed on September 11, 2001. Among them, civilian aircraft became potential enemy weapons systems, and air traffic control changed from a civilian problem to a military one. This project studies technological responses that are practical and implementable and go a long way towards ameliorating the risk of a repeat. The basic approach is to modify the avionics control system on the aircraft to limit the space into which an aircraft can fly."
