Dear Sir:
I have thought of a idea that may work in the prevention of aircraft hijacking. It came to me while reading and noting that our government and aircraft [guess: builders] have not come up with a real solution to the problem. The cost at this time to find a way to stop hijacking is tremendous. Plus the possible loss of life & aircraft. These are my conditions to expose my idea. $150,000 tax free if it is tested and works. I was in the Air Force for eight years. Also I worked for Boeing Aircraft for two years as a [REDACTED] of aircraft. Knowing [REDACTED] air crafts [guess: systems] makes me believe that it will work.
