This has been bugging me for awhile.
First off, the old hijacking SOP was let them have the plane and do whatever they want.
Correct me if I am wrong but that has changed to zero tolerance, no one is never ever allowed into the cockpit, cockpit doors have been made so they can't be broken in, I have also heard rumors of armed marshals on-board.

Be that as it may if someone tried to take over an airliner I was on I would take that as a threat on my life and do everything in my power to stop them, I don't think I'm the only person that thinks that way.

Also I am of the opinion that terrorist seem to be bigger is better mentality so hijacking a airliner would be small potatoes in their eyes today and a low priority.

Therefor I feel the terrorist are having a good laugh at us wasting millions of productive hours and dollars standing in long lines with our shoes off and giving up our privacy to be poked and prodded by airport security dweebs.

I have no problem taking a few extra minutes checking to make sure no bombs get on board... oh wait... we were already doing that.

What makes America great is freedom, every time we give up some of it, they win.
