Idea to prevent plane hijack

all they need is an aircraft radio and they can talk with the pilot and
anyone else they feel like talking to.

Separate cockpit and passengers by wall with no door, no window, just
plane wall. No mechanism of communication whatsover with cockpit from
passenger area. That will discourage hijacker because whatever he do,
pilot will not know.

When terrorists know that even flight staff can not talk to pilot, it
is futile to attempt hijack.

Ah! But it's against the law to operate a radio transmitter on board a
commercial aircraft!

That'll certainly stop them.

Well, they already have a phone.

then remove the cockpit and the pilots altogether from commercial
aircraft, i.e., UAV version of all airliners, problem solved (and
while you are at it, offshore the remote controlling of said UAVs,
thus killing two birds in one stroke, i.e., highjacking problem,
and cost reduction for the airlines) -- then of course one could
argue that the highjacker wouldn't have to bother going into the
aircraft in the first place and could do it from the ground as well,
but you'll always have people whining about this or that...
