Thirty years later?
This type of crime is often refered to as "Phantom Controlling". I ran a federal task force that resulted in the first and only arrest of an individual for issuing false air traffic control commands to passenger aircraft thirty years ago. The incident was briefed to the White House with several solutions to stop future occurrences. Once again, it looks like the FAA is waiting for people to die before doing their job. If you want to read about the crime, read the novel "Phantom Controller".
