I believe that the airplanes used had GPS and transponders. The terrorists
simply turned them off. This system did not stop the terrorists. The
monitoring stations on the ground simply assumed that the planes went down.
(Today, I think there would be a different response...)
The point is, such systems are too easily disabled to do any good.
