... exception.

According to Standard Operating Procedure during a fighter intercept of a potentially hijacked craft, the pilot of the intercepting fighter is required to attempt at least a visual inspection of the hijacked plane.

That means that they fly up real close and look in the windows of the flight deck (cock pit) to see what is up. Those windows are not tinted, and the flight was in the morning after sunrise, so the pilot would have no trouble looking in.

As far as the passenger cabin is concerned, the pilot could also easily see in those windows as well. And one more thing: were a fighter jet to fly up wing-tip to wing-tip to a plane I was currently in at 40,000 feet of altitude, I don't know about you, but I would be looking out the little window at him. Human nature. so if there weren't a bunch of people staring at the fighter pilot through those little windows, it is very likely he would come to the conclusion that he did.

Of course, he could have made the whole thing up, or he could have been lying so as not to generate tons of lawsuits, or he may have just remembered it the way he wanted to...

but the fact is, yes, a fighter pilot can and usually does attempt to verify the assumed senario by a visual inspection of the craft prior to shooting it down. It is part of their last attempt to establish communications with the craft prior to pulling the trigger.
