What's the likelihood I'd be a victim of a hijacking?
Erroll Southers (Former Deputy Director of the California Department of Homeland Security) gives expert video advice on: What's the likelihood I'd be a victim of a hijacking?; Is there anything I can do to prevent a hijacking?; What do I do if hijackers try to take over my airplane?
Well obviously the likelihood of hijackings been reduced significantly. We have changed the screening in terms of items that can be taken on a plane, weapons that can be used, air-marshals on planes, not allowing people to go forward of a certain location in a plane during a flight. Cockpit doors never opened, Cockpit door integrity in terms of the way its structured has been changed. So there's a lot of mechanisms in place that would stop a would be hijacker today.
