How to Hijack an Airplane in 3 Seconds
Ten years after 9/11, airline cockpits are vulnerable every time a pilot takes a bathroom break. So why isn't the FAA making secondary barriers a requirement? (www.theatlantic.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Once again, the idiots at The Atlantic trolling in the aviation world...what a bunch of A-holes...>=oI
Let's start by racial profiling of all passengers first, and also taking some lessons from the Israeli security teams by reducing the risk of hijacking.
Ok l think we re forgetting something. If there will be an attack it will be unexpected, just like the 911 attacks. If something like 911 will happen again, lots of planning will go into it, I don't think we should underestimate the possibilities of how terrorists will gain control of the airplane. How about when the airplane is on the ground, and the door is way open to a group of terrorists that outnumber crew and pax on the plane? Or when the plane arrives and the pilots walk out the door? Or if someone asks to visit the pilot? Turns out he wants to do something different. I'm saying that we can prepare for an attack like this, but what if they want us to think that's how they will get into the cockpit? Terrorists are full of surprises and there's not much we can do about that.
i would give the pilots a 6 shooter an if a highjacker comes in 1 shot 2 the right spot would deter the other terriorests
Since the "unexpected" has been mentioned in connection with the next attacks, how about the flight crews at the airlines, including the cargo carriers? There could be sleeper cells of pilots and other workers quietly biding their time, building up coworkers' trust. Why worry about breaking into the cockpit when you're already there?
I wold install a laser beam covering the door to the flight deck and instruct the attends to stay in the main cabin until contacted by the Capt.
