Have a second "crew restroom" in the back of the plane.
During times when there is an elevated state of awareness, have a 4-man SWAT team packed in there like sardines (they would get in and out through a trapdoor in the floor leading into the cargo compartment, where they change into/out of maintenance
uniforms to sneak in/out).
In the event of a hijacking, they barge out in full riot-control gear, tasers zapping and soap-bullet assault rifles blazing.

\\a 4-man SWAT team packed in there like sardines \\ So the same as for everybody else then? |
|

I say, if you're going to all the trouble of packing a 4-man SWAT team, it doesn't make any sense hiding them - that's tantamount to *encouraging* hijackings isn't it? |
|
| |
For the really security conscious, each passenger should be forced into a Guantanamo style jumpsuit, handcuffed, shouted at, and told to maintain a kneeling position for the duration of the flight, as a stern SWAT teamster keeps their weapon trained on them in case they make any sudden moves. |
|
| |
On landing, the passengers can be ‘bagged’ before being bundled into the back of a van and taken away for questioning. |
|
| |
Or to be really, *really* sure, simply shoot anyone who attempts to board a commercial flight. Only this way, can we be sure to rid the skies of terror. |
|
| |
The hand-cuffing idea actually has some merit [z_t]. I could see some people opting for such a flight. Very halfbaked. |
|
| |
Thanks [h_t] has anyone considered utilising the improbability of any given airplane being hyjacked *twice* in one flight. |
|
| |
e.g. The crew is installed at the beginning of the flight as normal, but, sometime after take-off, they get hijacked by a team of desparate <airline> employees who ruthlessly continue to take the plane to its intended destination, and upon landing, issue their demands to the authorities (i.e. a landing gate, and one of those ladder-things to get the passengers off please) before threatening the passengers for flying with <airline>, informing them of the outside temperature, and wishing them a pleasant onward journey. |
|
| |
The result - the miniscule chances of any plane being hijacked twice make it so next to impossible that noone has to worry about it for the next billion years. Simple. |
|
| |
Speaking as a member of a secret terrorist cell, I think I'll get a job with one of these squads. Sounds like just the thing.
//has anyone considered utilising the improbability of any given airplane being hyjacked *twice* in one flight//
Sounds to me like Baldrick's Bullet (link). |

... or the guy who always brings a bomb with him when flying, because what are the odds there's two bombs on the same plane? |
|
| |
Bah, you and your 'plausable' science [DrBob]. As it happens, in this case, the excitement of a hijack (albeit a staged one) may very well deter any would-be terrorist from conducting a hijack of their own (alternately it might fire him up enough to join in. Believing himself to be among 'comrades' may make his capture easier*) or, if the terrorist hijack occurs before the <airline>'s, the preferred state of affairs can be reverted. |
