You have not heard of the standing orders for USAF to shoot down any passenger plane that is suspicious in anyway? I suspect that if the pilot did not provide the password and yet continued on then maybe that would be seen as a possible "problem" that needs to be dealt with.
I hope I'm not on that plane.
