9/11 style attacks became obsolete three-quarters of the way into the 9/11 attack. Before that day, the cultural understanding was that the best bet with a hijacking of a plane was to stay calm and let the hijackers make their demands-- whether they be for money or to be taken to a certain location or whatever. That cultural understanding changed while the 4th plane was still in the air when the passengers learned what happened to the other planes-- the new standard became "stop them at all costs." There will be no more people taking over planes with box cutters. The next successful attack will come from some other method-- and the fear-mongers will make sure even more civil liberties are taken from us to try to prevent
that method from working again.
