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.
