Well, if it was during lunch the passengers could use their plastic knives and forks to subdue them.

“Well, if it was during lunch the passengers could use their plastic knives and forks to subdue them.”
Or their laptops chargers, shoelaces, belts, and whatever other things can be brought to hand as weapons.
If you are not afraid to die you can disable even a burly terrorist with theses things and yourself. Yeah, he can cut your throat, but not before you gouge his eyes out. And if they succeed in taking the cockpit, I figure I am dead anyway, my life for his eyes seems like a fair trade to me. It’s hard to take over an airliner if you cannot see.
And I would bet that I am not the only aisle-seat preferring passenger that thinks that way.
Terrorists will never again succeed in using airliners as cruise missiles. The unorganized militia of the Unites States of America will see to that — even in an Obamanation.
