It's most prominently a horrifying plan that was rejected and remained classified

Many more horrifying plans have been accepted and are unclassified (e.g.Manhattan project).

The point is that precedent exists for hijacking planes for false flag purposes.

There's no precedent at all. Precedent implies that it happened, which it didn't.
Something being thought of and dismissed is just not evidence for that thing being done.

It's not like it was even that original of an idea. There had been two plane hijackings by cubans in the past year. Proposing "what if a third went wrong" is hardly a masterclasses in outside the box thinking.

We've done other false flag operations. Other terrible things to domestic civilians.
Using that time we didn't actually do anything as an example is just odd.

Personally, I think people like it just because it has a cooler name. "Mongoose" just doesn't have the same ring.

It did. A plan was formed to the level it could be presented to the president. That happened.

It's not like it was even that original of an idea.

The original part is hijacking your own plane to blame it on another nation as a false flag operation.

We've done other false flag operations.

OK. So now you admit that there is a precedent for attacking our own people. I think we can close the discussion.

Personally, I think people like it just because it has a cooler name.

MK-Ultra is the coolest conspiracy name. Operation Paperclip is the most boring sounding.
