Respirators in the cockpit. Gas problem solved. Gas "Nitrous Oxide" It'll take a coule minutes to really take hold but it's odorless and colorless. They wouldn't know what was going on until they could no longer stand up.

That would obviously be a last ditch effort, after the stun guns/tasers were used. Some throw a stream of voltage like 15 feet. If the terrorist was holding a knife to a hostage, zap the **** out of both of them. Neither should experiance permanent injury.

In my example the terrorists would.
[LIST][*]Have to get concealed weapons on board.[*]Have the weapons stored on themselves because they can't access luggage.[*]Defeat 2 armed Police Officers[*]Defeat flight attendants armed with tasers.[*]Break through the sealed off cockpit door.[*]Do it all before the gas takes effect.

Now obviously, this is kinda like stealing a car. If they are good enough, and they want your car bad enough, and they plan well enough, you really can't stop them. You can; however, deter them, and make it much much harder.

I think everyone has good ideas, I just wanted to point out some things.

Armed Officers, pretty good, i still think they should be plained clothed. Where are they on the plain, no one really knows (passenger wise)

Has anybody ever been trained with weapons of any kind? One of the most important rules to remember with any weapon, is that when you bring the weapon to the fight, you take the chance of losing it to the opponet, now they have a weapon that they would not have had.

I say this cause I am not sure your average flight attendant would want this responsibility nor be capable of handling some of these weapons. But everyone is definately on to something here.

I still say that the unbreakable door is the key. The too heavy argument just does not fly with me. You can make up for the weight in losing some of the planes capacity. For every passenger you lose, there went some luggage too.

Somebody made the comment about losing one hostage...and everybody saying that you could have maybe saved them. Maybe we could have, but did we save 199 lives in the process? When the plane gets on the ground, Swat teams have a chance of losing a hostage or two....or maybe more.

i think that the gas idea is pretty innovative, if it could be done. Having resperators in the cockpit would help be insurance that the pilots did not get gassed also.
