what is the answer to threats of aircraft hijackings in mid-air?

Question

Today air travel is undertaken by more and more people. Bigger aircraft like double-decker A380 are likely to come into service soon. The problem of safe air travel free from threats of hijackings has to be solved with the help of better technology. Biometric data, fingerprints and photographs of passengers should be obtained. Closed circuit TV cameras should be fitted in aircraft cabins and data should be continuously relayed from air to ground control. Suspicious activities of passengers should be especially monitored closely from ground control. For each passenger, one citizen should be required to give guarantee of good behaviour,on penalty of stiff sentences which could be imposed on the citizen. Pilot cabin should be well insulated from passenger cabin; no potential hijacker should be able to get into pilot's cabin. There should be provision to spray chemicals into the cabin to make the hijackers as well as all other passengers fall unconscious so as to immobilise the hijackers.

Answer 1

Seriously: just follow what the Israelis do - they've been dealing with this for years. A remote control airplane might be something to consider to, where the pilot can lock out the controls to have a ground based pilot lead the plane to a safe landing.

Answer 2

I think the US government is doing a great job on aircraft security post 9/11.

Answer 3

weoll some of the ideas you suggested were very good but the only thing i don't think the government woul do is the chemical spraying thats harmful to everyone in the plane but other then that it is good ideas in my book

Answer 4

Dont worry dear, if you are afraid of being hijacked, better you do it first, and dont leave a chance for others to hijack the flight

Answer 5

Always best to stop problems at their root cause, so the answer would be to eliminate terrorism. Simple to say but probably impossible to achieve, unfortunately.
