FDRs aren't any more reliable than most other avionics. They work the majority of the time, function reasonably well some of the rest of the time and totally crap out once in a while.
But WORSE, what are the odds that out of ALL those aircraft serial numbers possible including the vast majority of individual parts on those airplanes, which have part serial numbers themselves, that not a single one of all those gazillion parts have ever been conclusively identified as coming from ANY of the alleged planes?
The hijackers were hijacked. By remote control. CIA assets lured into a sinister plot to board the planes and hijack them, and then taken over by ground control, which included control over the Mode S transponders, and full control of the aircraft, locking out the pilots, the hijackers and everyone. Even the circuit breakers had no effect. The fact that luggage from the hijackers was found shows that they were expecting to live.

Try rereading the posts I have made. Just because the serial numbers cannot be read, does not mean that section of the header is no longer there. It's a memory location and it is always there whether or not the serial number can be read.
And yes, the US Air Force (and most agencies/airlines) will allow aircraft to fly with recorder systems screwed up. You generally don't know there is a problem till you do a download.

Let's make something perfectly clear about this 'lie' being perpetrated by Warren Stutts about the missing data in the header. First, he has never worked on a real FDR in any capacity in his entire life. Second, he knows nothing about what these files are supposed to look like in the file header, and the fact that BIT checks these two parameters for validity and if the whole all up checksum fails, this is a BIT FAIL and the plane cannot fly with that.
A bench unit does not have A/C ID and FLEET ID data and still can pass BIT. Why? There is a special section of the firmware that controls BIT FAILURE MASKING for BENCH UNITS and in essence, makes the checksum computation 'ignore' the missing data that is not there because it has not been loaded yet. A unit to be shipped to an airplane maker HAS THIS DATA LOADED INTO IT AT THE FACTORY, by the manufacturer of the unit!!! This data is passed to the manufacturer by the aircraft manufacturer, who gets it from the F.A.A. This data is absolutely CRUCIAL to the positive linkage of the FDR to the actual airframe it is mounted in.

Or do you believe that there is technology available that allows the CIA to simply remotely control any plane of its choosing at any time?

I honestly don't remember how many civilian systems I've worked with. As for your questions, im not going to dance to your tune. You have shown a propensity to ignore reality in favor of conspiracy based on someone's supposed credentials. Try doing some research on your own.
