Exactly; another 9/11 situation is impossible now. They just need to keep doing screenings of passengers and their carry-ons to make sure no one can bring obvious weapons on board; anything else is unnecessary and possibly counterproductive. If someone tries to hijack the plane using razor blades or whatever, the passengers will literally murder them.
- ceejayoz 7y agoIt still doesn't hurt to keep them out of the cockpit, though. Quickly stabbing the pilot to death is likely to at least kill or injure a plane's worth of passengers.
- magduf 7y agoTrue, but what if the pilot is having an emergency, or the copilot has decided to commit suicide while the pilot went to the bathroom? There should be a way of getting the door open quickly if enough people authorize it (perhaps at least 2 crewmembers).
- VBprogrammer 7y agoI'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. If not you have a lot of faith in people's willingness to sacrifice themselves to save others.
- magduf 7y agoI guess you haven't been paying attention, because there have been hijacking attempts since 9/11, and they did not go very well for the hijackers.
