Proactive dissuasion.
So it would appear that the Fed is jangling the terrorism bell again.
I say, we have freedom to bear arms, so let's exploit it! First, recall all planes where the windows and hulls aren't completely bulletproof. Next, on all the remaining flights you have the stewardesses hand out handguns and a license to kill in self-defense to each and every passenger as they board the plane. The result: if someone tries to hijack the plane, they'll be gunned down within seconds, and since the plane has been reinforced to serve as an indoor shooting range, you wouldn't have any pesky stray bullets accidentally bringing down the whole circus. Viva la Heston!
