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 [and] aircraft. This are my conditions to [guess: 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 Quality Control inspector of air craft. Knowing the air crafts [guess: systems] makes me believe that it will work.
