Re: OT:Prevent Airline Hijacking

Aeroplanes should be divided into sections by walls very difficult to
get through, it should take explosives, and we have good sniffer
dogs/machines xray etc to find explosives at the airports.

Video cameras in all sections can be monitored in the cockpit.
The security expert, the third man in cockpit, is checking up what is
happening in all sections.

If one section is threatened by terrorists he can release safe but
immediately working sleep gas in that section.

The passengers are not allowed to take anything into the passenger
sections which is not needed there. No hand luggage, maybe a book or a
pocket computer, glasses, a magazine, etc.. Every object is to be
examined before passengers are allowed into the plane.
Including objects in the clothes, in pockets, etc..

A terrorist could only use fighting methods without weapons.

If he is alone he has 50 people in the same section to get under
control. Not so easy when the others are fighting for their lives and
have absolutely nothing to lose. Whatever he wants to do he needs to
get it done within a few seconds, before the security guy turns on the
sleeping gas.

We could find a way to test people's reflexes, and find the potentially
dangerous passengers, and maybe treat them differently somehow.
People who are prepared and trained for fight react differently to
different situations than "non-fighters".

The suggestions above would not cost much, when we consider factors
like space in the plane, the weight of the plane, etc.. Slightly
thicker and heavier wall between sections would not cost so much.

In some planes there is only space for two pilots in cockpit. The we
should put the security guy in a small section behind cockpit, behind a
strong wall, and maybe armed with more tools than sleep gas.

Terrorists would have to take him first to get to cockpit. And he can
put any section of the aeroplane to sleep whenever he needs to.
