What changed on Sept 11, was the ability to use aicraft to attack targets on the ground. That was like trying to divide by zero and threw the equations all out of whack and was deamed unacceptable, and so here we are today. STill nobody really cares about a bomb on an aircraft, afterall the only people at risk are actually on the airplane.
Not really sure about this. Whether the hijacker/terrorist/lunatic has a bomb or not will pax & crew simply accept that their plane has been taken over or will they resist? UA94 (not sure about the flight number ) over PA has shown it. Yeah, they died but they fought. And this counts!
