This is going to require very fine judgment by the sky
marshall. He or she also has to distinguish between a
conventional hijack best dealt with by negotiation (are
sky marshalls trained to conduct hostage-release
negotiations?) which are the vast majority of cases,
and a rare attempt to use an airliner as a suicide bomb.

No one is ever going to be able to hijack an airliner anywhere in the
world any more and expect people to believe that they're merely going to
hold the passengers and plane hostage.

The stakes have been upped to the max for all future hijack attempts,
and nobody can *afford* to assume "good" motives by anyone who tries to
take over a plane, *ever*.

From here on out, a hijack attempt will, by any rational person, be
treated as an attempt at mass murder. If you want to make a political
statement, hijack a ferry or a bus.
