Air traffic controllers could have assigned 7500 hijack to each flight and report that Flight 11 was off course starting at 8:14 after the right turn was not corrected. What the ATC should have known that no scrambles were possible during the summer of threat of 2001 after the hijack procedure was adjusted to slow mode. The FAA needed to follow was a Coup Protocol drill and contacted the Canadian Air Force.

Touching history assessment for 7500 HIJK
"Are you broadcasting in the clear"
"Delta 1989 is broadcasting in the clear"
Flight 11 should have been given HIJK 7500 assignment starting at 8:14 when Flight 11 continued on its 20 degree right path. Also ATC wrongly assumed NORDO condition because flight 11 was not squawking 7600..

"controllers shall assign Code 7500 to the aircraft" AFIO (Authority For Intercept Operations) was never declared i.e squawk AFIO, “quad sevens,” 7777" FAA will control an intercept unless APIO is declared. 2 |

WASHINGTON CENTER OPERATIONS MANAGER: 9 33:00 [UNINTELLIGIBLE]-
NEADS ID:
He said the pilot on American 11 was talking to him, having a rough time telling him what's going on. There was threats in the cockpit being made. This was the initial—hijack information that we got on American 11, the 767 from Boston to Los Angeles. Proposed route—he was headed towards JFK at the time that they lost contact. But that was not the aircraft headed—into the World Trade Center,
that hit it—
There were established protocols in place on 9/11 for the interaction of the FAA with the military. Those protocols had been developed in response to the hijackings of the 1970s and 1980s, which typically resulted in hostage negotiations, and although they had been revised at Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's direction to increase his authority over the process, those revisions to the protocols reflected none of the intelligence reporting with respect to the increased domestic hijacking threat or the growing prevalence of suicide terrorist attacks, however it does reflect an clear inside job.

"Okay, I'm going to give you the Z-point, "Nasypany tells the Weapons director, referring to a set coordinates techs can use to create a tag on their monitor to help them identify the location of New York City. He calls out the coordinates. "It's just north of New York City .. Head 'em in that direction."
paraphrase
"Joe McCain Shouts the location of American 11 to the whole Ops floor" 16 miles of JFK heading down the Hudson"
American Airlines Emergency line
"Don't spread this around""I don't want this spread all over this office right now."Betty Ong, on 555 number, called the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office in Cary, North Carolina, at 8:18 a.mAmy Sweeney, on a 555 number, made three phone calls to the American Airlines flight services office at Logan International Airport in Boston, and in them described the catastrophic events on her plane. The first two calls, made at 8:25 a.m. and 8:29 a.mDid American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office and or American Airlines flight services office see the 904-555-0004 number on there caller ID?
3.5 minutes unable to establish to radio contact, or when a plane deviates from its flight plan to call in the military. There will be a plane up to investigate within 15 minutes. The flight controller does this all on this own. He does not need the president’s approval.
Red Flags
Page 31 "Authority to scramble fighters must come from secretary of defense"
Order to Engage: Aries noted that previous to 9/11 the authority given to intercept a commercial airliner with a military flight would have to come from "upwards of the Secretary of Defense."
Quote 2003 nytimes
"Before Sept. 11, the Pentagon had no formal rules on how the military should deal with airliners taken over by suicidal hijackers bent on using them as weapons."

page 35 "On the large radar-tracking screen at the front of the room at American's System Operations Control, the radar blip of American 11 has been specially tagged so that it is readily identifiable. "
Comment: It sounds like ATC finally assigned 7500 hijack to the aircraft.. 8:38 "controllers shall assign Code 7500 to the aircraft" page 40 MSgt Joe McCain, the mission crew commander technican, makes a note of a particular blip. McCain is not a controller, but he knows that planes tend to fly very specific routes, like highways in the sky and this particular target seems not to be on any of those regular routes. It's also very fast moving. I've got a search target that sees to be on an odd heading here," he says to Scoggins, then describes its location. its about 20 miles north of Manhattan. "Yeah, I see that one," Scoggins responds, noting the target he's referring to, which is not American 11, but an aircraft just next to it on radar. But he realizes that American 11 is right behind the target McCain has identified "There's a target 4 miles behind it," That's the one! That's American 11" The blip is 16 miles north of JFK.. (The identity of the other fast-moving aircraft McCain had noticed, four miles ahead of Flight 11, is unstated.) 4 John Jester this is a major event. We have to establish control and find out what occurred and make sure we have all of the appropriate response coming to assist us fire and medical and rescue personnel. The phones were ringing off the hook. The guys in there were jumping on them. People were calling from throughout the Pentagon. I tried to get a security camera up on one of the television monitors to get a picture of what had happened. But all of the cameras in that area had been destroyed.
