Fun with security protocol

Here in daytona, there is a junk load of student pilots coming in and out and everyonce in awhile you here tower/ground ask a plane if eveything is ok.....you here the pilot say yeah...and then tower/ground say put your flaps up then. (students forget to put flaps up every so often (after preflight or taxing back to t/o) and atc wants to make there isnt something worse about to happen)

If you were being hijacked at the time, wouldn't tower asking you that tip off the bad guys that you were somehow trying to rat them out-- thus making your day even worse??

The real way to let someone know your being Hijacked is to taxi with the GEAR UP!!

I feel like taxing with the flaps down was often appropriate... my tweet my not have been hijacked.. but my mental capacity certainly was.

I think the WOW (Weight-On-Wheels) switches on the gear wont allow that to happen
