According to standard operating procedures, the FAA is supposed to contact the NMCC whenever it suspects that an airplane has been hijacked. There are three major signs that a plane may have been hijacked: (1) if it deviates seriously from it's flight plan; (2) if radio contact is lost; or (3) if it's transponder goes off.'

The NMCC then tells NORAD to have jets sent up - "scrambled" - from the nearest Air Force base with jets on alert.

Interceptions evidently occur, in fact, about 100 times a year. The FAA reported, for example, that there were 67 interceptions between September 2000 and June 2001.
