They might well be a part of a ploy to divert attention whilst others combine to take control of the aircraft.
I'm glad the RAF remains ready and able to deploy so quickly to defeat any such attempt to try a 9/11 type event in the UK.
Does it really matter if it is one or more people? It's not 2001, any longer. Procedures have changed and the access to the flight deck that the 9/11 criminals got has evaporated, reinforced doors, cameras, etc., to say nothing of the action by other pax.
I'm grateful for the efforts of all of our armed forces, they do a great job.
