Few pilots will agree with your disagreement. The aircraft has a transponder and the past has required using a hijack code if there is a hijack.
This penalty is excessive, without question.
What if the hijackers were smart enough to follow the original flight plan?
In that case they would have to land ?
While not lately, flying in and out of MSP airspace VFR results in getting in radio line to talk to a controller. Controllers are usually too busy to talk to VFR pilots which usually means just leaving their airspace the way one came in and telling them that. Or, what is not provided and is critical is how many times did the controller call the airliner? Should have been at least 3 times, if not 6 times. So, without this information, calling security for jet intercept is premature and probably outrageous.
