There is a huge difference hijacking protocol between now and 9/11.

Post 9/11 passengers are not going to allow a guy with a razor blade hijack a plane, or even several guys with razor blades. Passengers and crew members now fight back and have the advantage of numbers.

Yeah, but what if _everyone_ on the plane were a hijacker?

Wait...

The cockpit door is kept locked now, so it's moot. The pilot will land, SWAT team will storm the plane. Done.
