Interesting hijacker DNA
Late February 2003: DNA Identifies Passenger Remains, but Hijacker DNA Is Not Tested
Medical examiners match human remains to the DNA of two of the hijackers that flew on Flights 11 and/or 175 into the WTC. The names of the two hijackers are not released. The FBI gave the examiners DNA profiles of all ten hijackers on those flights a few weeks earlier. Genetic profiles of five hijackers from Flight 77 and the four from Flight 93 that did not match any of the passengers’ profiles have been given to the FBI, but the FBI has not given any DNA profiles with which to match them.

Five years after the 9/11 attacks, technicians in the New York City medical examiner's office have identified about half of nearly 21,000 body parts recovered near the site of the World Trade Center.
Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the office, says work has been complicated by the discovery in the past year of 760 fragments of remains in a nearby office building being prepared for demolition. One set of remains was matched to a 9/11 victim this year.
Identifying remains "was and is incredibly important to the families of victims," Borakove said. "We intend to stay on this until the job is completed."
Along with their victims, 19 terrorists died after hijacking passenger jets on 9/11. Where possible, military and civilian authorities have separated the hijackers' body parts from the remains of victims and store them at undisclosed locations.
At the World Trade Center, toppled by American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, the medical examiner's office has identified 1,598, or 58%, of the 2,749 persons reported missing.
Fewer than 300 bodies were recovered intact. Of the 20,730 body parts recovered, 10,933 have been matched to a known victim while 9,797 remain unidentified. The unidentified remains, which have been dehydrated to improve preservation, are stored in large walk-in containers under a block-long tent near the medical examiner's office.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-09-11-sept11-remains_x.htmSomewhere I've seen that the remains were brought to one spot and from there to the test lab, so you could do funny stuff if you wanted to.
But I have no confirmation for it.
My personal opinion on the passengers is, that there were people on board and they died, with or without hijackers on board.
But I haven't been on that plane so ......
