You're trying to combine 2 separate events: 1) the actual United 93 and 2) the TSD United 93 that had its flightplan entered by Linda Justice. Here's the account of Linda Justice: We were given a data block with which to track UAL93. The aircraft appeared to be heading toward Washington Center airspace. In an attempt to expedite the situation I put a charge of routing in to reflect HGR->DCA. This was only to forward to (the) information to the sectors the aircraft appeared to be tracking toward. I then called POT sector to verbally point him out and flashed the handoff to HGR sector. We took the handoff back when UAL93 changed direction to the east and did not resume the handoff to ZDC. Contact (visually) was lost with the target shortly thereafter. I'm not sure whether I understand you properly. Do you say that when Linda Justice activated the HGR->DCA routing, this caused UA93's transponder to pop up? At 10:05?
