The main problem I have with the substitute plane theory is it is completely speculative. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a speck of hard evidence in the public domain to back it up.

The hardest part of the theory to account for is, how do you land 4 jumbo jets, herd close to a hundred people per plane off the jumbo jet and on to the substitute plane, all without anyone noticing? Maybe folks could be conned into believing there was a problem with their plane and they were being shuffled on to another to keep delays to a minimum, but where would you do it without witnesses? On a military base with a few thousand PFCs watching? At a private air strip where the biggest planes that land are twin prop jobs? Area 51?

It's not so much it couldn't have been done that way, it's that there isn't any evidence to support it was done that way.

Even if remote control technology was used, I don't see any reason to assume it couldn't have been installed on the actual flights. With airport security controlled by Bush buddies and Israelis, how hard would be for a hand full of Mossad agents to rig the planes the night before? If there were explosives on board, how hard would it be to put a few extra suitcases in the luggage compartment? I really don't follow why the substitute plane theory is necessary to explaining any part of what happened on 9/11. Even the remote control theory is pretty hard to substantiate, but at least there is a certain amount of circumstantial evidence which potentially gives it a little bit of credibility.
