I have a cousin who is a copilot for a airline. He said standing rules 
were to co-operate with hijackers. If they had any remote knowledge that 
the planes would be used as flying truck bombs, that it would be very easy 
to keep someone from hijacking a airplane by simply climbing, diving and
banking so they couldn't gain a footing at the cockpit door.  (NASA's 0g 
simulator is a Boeing 707 that climbs and dives)

Yes, the passengers would be a bit upset, but its one thing to have your
drink spilled all over you, quite another to have your blood spilled.

They claim FDR knew about Perl Harbor in advance, course they didnt' start
saying it until he was dead...  How much George W knew in advance we'll 
never really know, but it was mighty stupid for the FAA to allow knives
on planes... mighty stupid..., but it is possible, if pilots had been warned
in advance to resist hijackings instead of co-operate, things may have
turned out differently.

I suspect any person attempting to hijack a airliner today will be 
overpowered by passengers.
