It doesn't really seem to be this the discussion about Transit providers 
accepting or not certain announcements. Even if a Transit Provider 
accepts announcements from people who are not responsible for an 
allocation nor has authorization to do that they should only be warned 
to take correction measures. I don't think the main aim of the propose 
is do anything with Transit providers.
Even in a hypothesis a Transit provider has no filters a hijack will not 
occur if a hijacker doesn't initiate it.
