In the event of a hijacking, the pilot, or a ground controller issues a command that causes a locked compartment in each passengers armrest to open up revealing a weapon of some sort. Club, knife, net and trident, sharpened high heel shoe, habrick in a sock, etc. Passengers can form an instant mob to overcome any resonable hijacking attempt.-- Galbinus_Caeli, Oct 03 2006 [1:47] http://www.youtube....watch?v=16sANhzjcC0How to get rods on a ship, in order to abduct 3 soldiers and use their own pistols against them. [pashute, Oct 17 2012] Battle Royale III?-- calum, Oct 03 2006 I can just hear the flight attendant now. After the oxygen mask etc. is explained..."and your armrest will open to reveal...oops, an ashtray..."-- xandram, Oct 03 2006 Too dangerous.-- daseva, Oct 04 2006 Interesting idea. However, an unarmed group can now get through security easily; once on the plane, a couple of them make a hijack attempt. When the pilot triggers the system, the rest of the group arm themselves, take hostages at knifepoint (or halfbrickpoint, a bit trickier)...?
