I'll bet a Tonka Truckload of cash that there won't be an airliner hijacking. The crew and passengers would go nuts and accept significant casualties to stop them. It's simply impossible to hijack a large aircraft now.

Nice call Maurice!! I was just discussing this the other day with someone and said effectively the same thing.

Passengers, like it or not, are now combatants.

And if there is anything good to come out of 9/11, it's the near elimination of this form of terrorism.

After all, how many hi-jackings have occurred in the middle east since 9/11??
