- machrider 14y agoCockpit doors are secured now, which really limits the damage a person can do with simple tools.
- danielschonfeld 14y agoand by secured u mean what exactly?....
- civilian 14y agoBefore 9/11, all plane hijackings in America were a matter of a hostage scenario with some money. The safe thing was to let the hijackers do their thing. Now that we know that the hijackers maybe be terrorists who want to use the plane as a weapon-- the American people will resist. Flight 93 hijackers had box cutters. I'd be happy to go toe-to-toe against a guy with a box cutter.
- lotsofcows 14y ago"the American people will resist" Some will, some won't, some will follow a leader. People tackled hijackers before 911 and people have tackled hijackers since 911.
- gfodor 14y agoyou have to admit the status-quo has changed with regards to public understanding of how to deal with "terrorists have taken over my airplane." before 9/11 it was a scary affair but basically was reduced to the same equation as a mugging: let them do what they want, it will all be over soon, it's not worth being a hero over. not the case anymore, quite the opposite.
- lotsofcows 14y agoI'm dubious. Be cool to see some hard numbers.
