I'd be much more worried about someone with a stinger missile (shoulder launched) standing in a field somewhere shooting down planes.
9/11 worked because people believed, and crews were trained, that terrorists will take you to some airport in Cuba or the Caribbean, park on a runway, and make demands. Maybe one or two people get shot before the situation is delt with compared to the entire plane falling out of the sky. Now, NOONE is going to sit back and hope for the best. Guys jumped out of their seats with knives, and everyone on that plane is going to give them a beat down.
