I've been on planes with about 20 passengers, so 2 or 3 terrorists could significantly narrow the odds.

That said, I don't disagree with your point at all.

I'd rather see an armed plainclothes officer on every flight than be harassed at the airport.




That size of a plane is too small to worry about. Commercial aviation is usually at least 50 seats. The TSA isn't preventing terrorists from chartering a private jet and flying it into something either.


I've been on 737s with about 20 passengers. It's rare, but given the right combination of flight, time of day, and season, it can happen.
