Israeli Airlines (El Al) has never had a successful hijacking, to the best of my knowledge. And they are as hated by terrorists as anyone on the planet. Clearly, they have excellent security procedures. But also, I think military service is simply mandatory for everyone. So, all adult Israelis are combat-trained. Both sexes. On an El Al flight, a terrorist with a small weapon would have only a brief moment to make trouble.

Oh, and I think TSA does now allow fingernail clippers on flights.
