On 911 the terrorists tuned them [the transponders] off from the cockpit which is why it was so hard to know where the planes were.

This is not true.
According to the official 911 commission report they did.
quote:
At 8:54, the aircraft deviated from its assigned course, turning south. Two minutes later the transponder was turned off and even primary radar contact with the aircraft was lost. The Indianapolis Air Traffic Control Center repeatedly tried and failed to contact the aircraft. American Airlines dispatchers also tried, without success.

On 9/11, the terrorists turned off the transponders on three of the four hijacked aircraft.
