[Imagination Club] How to avoid plane hijacks

[Jeffrey Baumgartner]

Hello Inder and thanks for the great challenge!

A couple of ideas come to mind...

1) Prohibit any carry-on luggage and require that 
passengers fly naked. That would prevent anyone from 
sneaking a weapon on board. If people are shy, perhaps the 
airline could provide swim-suits.

2) Build an ejector-seat like mechanism in the floor 
between the passenger cabin and the crew cabin. A push of a 
button by the crew would eject anyone, who is standing by 
the door to the crew cabin, into the sky.

3) Just before boarding time, give everyone a sleeping drug 
so they fall asleep. Then put them in stacked cots inside 
the aeroplane. Since everyone would be asleep, no one could 
hijack the plane. In fact, sleeping through a long flight 
is about the best way to endure a long flight. Moreover, 
airlines could save money on meals, in-flight movies and 
other services as well as avoid air rage, rude passengers 
and other trouble makers.
