Upon reflection, I have to agree with Daniel Terp about something. If there
had been sky marshals on board those flights, the terrorists would have
simply sneaked guns aboard and executed THEM first.
If the pilots had been armed, they would have been executed by a shot to the
back of the head. The fact that everyone on a commercial flight is unarmed
is an invitation to armed hijackers, but may not affect the outcome once a
plan is laid.
I still think it is ironic that these guys pulled this off with box knives
in NYC and Washington, DC, our two most aggressively disarmed cities.
