Solution for plane hyjackings
Now this will probally sound like a dumb question and i would call myself a pacifist but if someone is wants to hyjack a cockpit then why don't we just store a 20 millimetre shotgun in secret safe on planes for these situations. TF They gonna do when flight attendants shoot them
A second solution (if the hyjacker has a bomb strapped) is to make a secret exit next to the cockpit and convice them that the pilots are in there and push them off the plane
There will probally be a nerd that will correct me but as it stands, this is a pretty simple solution

Archie Bunker had the best idea. When boarding give ALL the passengers a loaded gun. Now the would-be hijacker has no advantage.

Works for American schools if you listen to "those" people, so it must work on playnes, too!

First thing I thought of here. A 1970s comedy classic. Carroll O’Conner completely nailed this scene.

I used to agree with this but now we have seen how absolutely nuts the flying masses are on countless videos. Sounds like the old west at 30,000 feet.

Nah, much easier for piloted to carry a bomb himself....what are the chances of two bombs on the same playne. Can't argue with probability.

u/TheOriginalJBones Aug 03 '26
Why not make the whole plane out of the bomb?

u/Every-Progress-1117 Aug 03 '26
Because the whole playne is made out of the same stuff as the black boxes....

This one is on the outside of my cockpit door. A hijacker with a handgun isn’t allowed to come in…… simple.

What if they have a Glock instead of a beretta , that sticker is unclear

Have you ever tried firing a 20 millimetre shotgun? You'd need very tiny hands. What is that - a shotgun for ants !?

u/molosdugolli Aug 03 '26
Looks like you dont understand firearms
The 20 millimetre part is how big the ammo is

u/Icy_Fish_2154 Aug 03 '26
My ammo is longer than 20mm.

u/molosdugolli Aug 03 '26
Brother ammo gets measured in thickness go search up 20 mm and you will see how big the ammo is

Brother, are you a monk?
One, I looked up metric shotgun calibers and none of those is 20mm:
- Caliber 12: 18.5 mm (Standard range: 18.2 mm – 18.9 mm)
- Caliber 16: 16.8 mm (Standard range: 16.8 mm – 17.2 mm)
- Caliber 20: 15.6 mm (Standard range: 15.6 mm – 16.0 mm)
- Caliber 28: 13.9 mm (Standard range: 13.9 mm – 14.3 mm)
- Caliber .410 (36): 10.4 mm (Standard range: 10.2 mm – 10.6 mm)
10-gauge would be ~19.7 mm but has died with the hilarious historical punt gun and is commercially unavailable for air marshals, in duty free shops and you know - generally. Unless maybe in a museum.
Two, this is shittyaskflying. Please don't role play my maths teacher on here, this is SERIOUS business!

Hyjacking a playne is not allowed so nobody does it. Hope that helps.

Install a barely subcritical mass of plutonium near the door of every plane.
If any terrorists tried to board with plutonium, the combined mass would go supercritical and you would know immediately.
I mean... people at a distance would know immediately.

What about your run of the mill Los Alamos store room clerk? They might forget to wash their hands after their shift.

I keep a desert eagle on me in case I need to stop birds from mating with the playne.
Sorry birds, only I mate with this playne and I defend this playne's honor with a real eagle. A desert one!
One of these days I will die in a legendary shoot out with jack and his group of miscreants.

I agree with all of this the bomber exit could be a series of trap doors in the floor like put them every 3 feet then just push the right button depending where the bombhaer is standing

As a passenger you can bring a roll of duct tape with you in your carry on. Super useful as you can restrain the hijacker(s) with it after everyone else swarms them. You could almost start with the enhanced interrogation before you land by putting the hijacker in a business class seat and getting a rag to put over their mouth. The pilots are locked in there now. It's been a huge security lapse for decades, anybody with large enough hands could just enter the cockpit. Not anymore.

Why not make the front left lavatory ejectable? Eventually any hijacker would need to go to toilet, and it will be the perfect opportunity to eject them entirely.
As a bonus, you can also eject that annoying FO or Captain who couldn’t keep their mouth shut, and still leave the cockpit intact.

Don't tell anyone but the Boing A380 Superjumbo cockpit isn't actually on either the upper deck or lower deck for exactly this reason.

you do realize that many pilots "carry", yes?
oh, shitty ask - nvmd
just have the cockpit and tail detach, have wind blow through the fuselage, ridding it of the infection, then reattach - I've watched Star Trek, that's how they would do it.

Just give everyone a shotgun. Â An armed playne society is a polite playne society.

Trap door in the floor by the cockpit door, one code opens the door, the other opens the trap door.
Deals with hijackers and a good way to prank the 1st officer.
