Israel vil innføre nytt sikkerhetssystem for ankommende fly - Møter sterk motstand

Fra airliners.net - Israel ønsker å innføre nytt sikkerhetssystem ved ankomst til israelsk luftrom, men møter sterk motstand. (Utvikler Elbit Systems er for øvrig bannlyst av Statens pensjonsfond - Utland for å ha deltatt i etablering av muren mellom Palestina og Israel.)

Israeli, foreign pilots slam in-flight security system

Transportation Ministry certain it finally found perfect deterrent against hijacking of commercial planes, but pilots say they would rather deal with terrorists in cockpit than face possibility of being shot down. EU says forcing its planes to use system may threaten aviation ties with Israel

The Code Positive technology, developed by Elbit Systems, is in essence an electronic smart card that every pilot will carry in his pocket while flying to Israel. At the identification point, some 200 miles off Israel's coastline, the pilot will be given a code consisting of a few digits. He will have to transmit the code to the Israeli control tower before getting clearance to continue towards Israel.

Should the pilot feel threatened, he would transmit an emergency code communicating to the control tower he is no longer in control of the plane, at which point fighter jets will be alerted. The prime minister and defense minister will decide whether the plane will be shot down or not.

Ja det virker jo som et fornuftig tiltak mot et daglig problem på flyt til og fra Israel... *not*
