Bookman, Stewart's plane was being tracked because it was in trouble - It was out of control - and had been for quite some time - They were tracking it to make sure it didn't come down in the middle of a city or something. Today, an aircraft that gets drastically off course or doesn't respond to a radio transmission will soon find itself with the company an F-15 or something - that is because of 9-11. Prior to that it would not have stirred up a lot of excitemment.
