You're not gambling on the dumbest person. You're gambling on the collective intelligence of dozens or hundreds of people, in coordination with a trained flight crew with access to cameras, radios, etc.
Tens of millions of people have flown without incident and you can point to two people panicking over stupid things? That seems like strong evidence against what you're claiming. People are simply not as stupid as you seem to think.

- staunch 4y agoYou cut off half of the sentence to quote it out of context... And if you're right, why aren't mobs of Americans attacking suspected hijackers already? Why didn't passengers attack the guy speaking Arabic or doing math? The evidence, based on millions of successful flights, seems conclusive: people are just not this stupid.
