A system for preventing the hijacking, or suicide-bombing, of aircraft, ocean-going vessels, or trains, having at least one onboard vehicle computer capable of operating the vehicle in an automated transportational mode along at least one path when any attempt to overtake or divert the vehicle is made or suspected, or threat of harm to any vehicle-personnel is made or suspected. The system has at least one signal receiver interfaced with, and having a communication link with, the computer(s), and the computer(s) is configured to be responsive to at least one secure signal when initiated by at least one user aboard the vehicle and sent from at least one signal transmitter to the signal receiver(s). The transmitter(s) has an easy-to-use user-interface which is operated by an engagement of at least one finger of user's hand to cause the signal to be sent to the receiver(s). The computer(s) have at least one software routine which is enabled when the signal is received by the receiver(s) and which causes the computer to operate the vehicle in at least one automated mode. When in the automated mode, all manual control of the vehicle is disabled and the vehicle is automatically directed to a pre-determined programmable destination. The system accommodates a resetting of the computer(s) to a non-automated mode when there is a false deployment and security checks and balances are provided from a secure, independent facility having the means to communicate with those aboard a vehicle and to transmit control signals to the vehicle's system.
