> Didn't we think, back in 2001, that we'd only have to live with pat-downs on every plane flight for so long? That the government would eventually realize that terrorists couldn't hijack planes once passengers knew that the proper response was to storm the cockpit rather than waiting for the usual ransom demand to be acquiesced to?
It's interesting to note that passengers figured out about storming the cockpit was the way to go on 9/11 itself, literally an hour and eleven minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Centre. They clearly knew that the old "wait out for ransom" no longer applied.
