Not a chance. This is more security theater, meant to remind people to be afraid.

- Simulacra 3y agoIt's such a ridiculous theater. If a terrorist really wanted to bring down an airplane, nothing the TSA or the airports are currently doing will stop them. There's way too many holes.
- tyingq 3y agoThe passengers, however, will stop them. It only used to work because the passengers thought it was a hijacking they could maybe survive. Once that hope was gone, it stopped working. Both on 9/11, and several times afterwards.
- Vecr 3y agoIf you want to bring down the airplane in general, there are multiple things you can do, but if you want to bring it down in a specific location, you either have to somehow hack the control systems, or break into the cockpit. For example if you want to crash the airplane into a skyscraper.
- George83728 3y agoThat isn't a thing that happens anymore, because passengers don't tolerate anybody making trouble. This double-doors stuff is alarmist theater for a fabricated threat.
- grepfru_it 3y ago> passengers don't tolerate anybody making trouble Examples of this? The shoe bomber is one, but the shoe bomber was solo. I don't know what a situation would look like in a 9/11 attack where you have 4-5 attackers. Esp in a widebody jet
- George83728 3y agoSearch for "restrained by passengers". Passengers and flight attendants duct-tape idiots to seats all the time. What is that has you suddenly so afraid of a repeat of a thing that last happened over 20 years ago?
- grepfru_it 3y agoBecause the only example we have of passengers fighting back against multiple armed hijackers ended in flight 93. A single passenger is easy, see the shoe bomber. I don’t think everyone will get so righteous if 10 people were threatening a flight. Armored flight deck doors are the real winner here
