How do you feel about the idea that the 9/11 terror attacks are virtual impossible in a post-9/11 world?
Remember that pre-9/11, plane hijackings meant you would get landed and then used as a bargaining chip for a ransom. So, now passengers know a hijacking attempt is a fight for their life (whereas before the recommended advice was to sit tight and let the hijackers do their thing).
Also, now, cockpit doors are reinforced and pilots won't open them for hijackers, no matter the cost.
