And yet they let the FA's pass out aluminum pop cans, that when drained
and folded in half, then torn by flexing them across the edge of the
fold-down tray, make two dandy slashing weapons, with convenient hand grips.

To anyone who has had any training (and no, I haven't had any), the
cabin is full of all sorts of improvised weapons there for the taking,
not to mention how easy it is to make a weapon look like part of a
carry-on bag. Security theater, nothing more. The real security is the
armored cabin door, and the revised protocols for hijack situations. In
short, cabin crew and pax are expendable, and the bad guys know it.
Cabin crew and pax know it too, which is why you had people swarming the
last few idiots. Can't hijack a plane any more, but you may be able to
destroy one in flight.
