I'm not currently aware of any non-metallic guns but then again the Russians and Chinese do come up with some kinky stuff from time to time.
I wonder if another technique might have been to depressurize the plane. The pilots would have their own masks and I suppose you could override the automatic release of masks in the passenger compartment.
I rather like the idea of allowing the pilots, at their discretion, to be armed.
Simple fact is that these were three or four guys with razor blades. I would think that twenty or so passengers could overpower them. Sure, theyd take some damage but it beats being a statistic. I agree, its easy to Monday morning QB these things.
I think we share a similar concern about what will be done in the name of 'security'. What is it they say? "Necessity is the plea for every infringement on liberty. It is the arguement of tyrants, it is the credo of slaves"
