A typical hijacking has the plane landing, sitting for awhile, and everyone gets off eventually. Now that that's been changed in people's minds, I don't think any group of hijackers is prepared to take on dozens of people rushing them right away.
Yeah, if I'm ever on a flight where some Arab fucks wanna start shit, I'm gonna be on them like a dirty shirt, and I'm sure there will be 50 other guys doing the same thing.

But I don't think terrorists will try to hijack planes anymore, they probably realise that it would be really hard to do now, so they're probably thinking up new ways to cause terror, like blowing up buildings and bridges and stuff.
