I am simply making sure that everyone understands what the stakes are. In the best case scenario the hijacker(s) are overwhelmed in short order by passengers and crew. In the worsecase scenario when it becomes apparent that the hijackers are intent on another 9.11. If that happens you may be faced with choice of sitting still and dying or making them blow up or crash the aircraft. Personally I would, if I was the pilot, at the first hint of trouble, fly the aircraft at its maximum speed out to sea so that I can crash it into the deepest patch of ocean I can find. I would do this because I would take it as a given that they have a bio-weapon, chemical weapon, dirty bomb, plutonium dispersion weapon or whatever on board. And yes, your choices suck. The "I don't do dumb and helpless " bit is a family joke by the way.
