I doubt anyone would try and highjack a plane again in the US. Because every red-blooded male would jumped the SOBs, ripped of their heads, sh*t down their necks, poke out their eyes, and skull f*ck 'em.

I actually spoke with a co-pilot for a commercial airline about that just a few days ago. He said the rules are the same for the cockpit as they are for the cabin. I told him, "Geez, you guys need a can of mace or something to knock those people down." All he said was they think reinforcing the door to the cabin should do it.
