If you're going to die anyway, who cares about a few holes in the hull? It's not as though you're trying to save the plane or anything. It would be nice, of course, but what you're trying to do is save what the plane is aimed at. Under less extreme circumstances, arming everyone needs more thought. For one thing, you're arming the hijackers, too. A few armed sky marshalls could be a lot more effective.
