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.

On an El Al flight, a terrorist with a small weapon would have only a brief moment to make trouble...

That is due in large part to their use of a well-known, very effective tactic that the US "can't" use (profiling). They are trained to look for
people, not just the weapons themselves.
