Correct, but the article points out that the hijacker will be
caught in a location that he has not anticipated (since the
plane is programmed to land in a random, safe airport). Also,
the article suggests that, since all hijackers will get caught
(can't even crash the plane) there will be much less incentive
to hijack.  These types of criminals will need to resort to
other crimes, but air travel will be safe(er).
