62. "Under what conceivable scenario?"
The point of scrambling the fighter jets was to send the message: "You may be able to blow up that plane and there is nothing we can do about it, but you sure as hell are not going to fly it into a building, because we'll disintegrate the whole damn plane before that happens."

In this instance, the 'conceivable scenario' in "under what conceivable scenario" would be The World Trade Center and The Pentagon.
