Or the Russian solution, “9x19mm Parabellum,” the standard side arm of the Russian Military today. The majority of those Russian civilian pilots are ex-military, they know how to shoot bad guys.

How many airplane hijackings have read about every in Russia?

I knew a pre-Communist Ethiopian in a previous life who told me their SOP for a hijacking attempt was to restrain the perp, wrap him in towels from the neck to the top of the torso, bleed him out with a boxcutter and dump his corpse on the tarmac once the plane was safely landed. The towels absorbed all the mess and were dumped with him. The plane would then taxi to the gate or stairwell as if nothing had happened on board.

It served as a grim warning to any would be jacker.
