Apart from relying on the guards, at present there is little a pilot can do but turn on his radar beacon to inform ground control that he is in trouble. However, the Federal Aviation Administration said last week that it had developed a new secret hijacking deterrent to be installed on all new airliners and eventually on all planes. Another suggestion, reported by The Times of London, is that security guards could shoot anaesthetic bullets "as used for rhinoceros...
...take issue with your ascribing an underlying motive to the President in refusing to consult Congress before ordering military incursions into Cambodia [July 13]. His answer, though unmistakably concise and logical, is dismissed as not "apt." A responsible Commander in Chief does not inform the enemy of the time and location of an impending attack.

...turmoil in Jordan last week overshadowed and probably delayed the decision, but did not reverse it. Some time in the near future the Nixon Administration will inform the Israelis that they can have more U.S. planes. Not as many as they want?Premier Golda Meir has requested 25 U.S.-built Phantom jets and 100 Skyhawks?but some. There will be strings. The U.S. will probably continue to refuse to replace planes lost in actions against Lebanon or Jordan. It will also urge Israel to drop its demand for direct, unconditional talks with the Arabs and to indicate a readiness...
