I agree that it is way too early to look for perpetrators. I'm a former aircraft avionics technician for a large multiengine turboprop. This operation required no more sophistication than the Internet (for plane schedules) and cell phones (to send last minute coded messages), IMO. A group of 12-15 people could have coordinated this. The possession of one flight manual and some time behind the stick on some aircraft type would be helpful, but hardly unattainable to anyone who wasn't backed by a government. Aircraft have an On/Off switch for the transponder (and a breaker). Not too hard to disable.
