"Removed for security reasons"

I assume by this edit summary that the threat is that a potential hijacker will read this article and figure out the pilots' secrets. The only problem is, if a hijacker has read the article and learned that you squawk 7500 when you're hijacked, you think they're not going to figure out that if the pilot is saying, "Uh, center, squawking 7-5-0-0," that they're up to the same thing? We'd either have to remove all of the information, which is pointless since this can be found in any number of publications (including the FAA web site), or there's no point in removing any of it. —Cleared as filed. 01:52, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The whole "squawking 7-5-0-0" business has been removed from official UK ATC phraseology for exactly this reason.
