Know what is better than a .45 ACP?..A hijacker who can't even get to the cockpit because he is hanging on for dear life and puking his guts out. As soon as he stops puking he will be in custody.

A hijacker whose guts have been scrambled by two Glaser Safety Slugs.

No custody. No lawsuits from 400 other passengers.

You seem to place a lot of faith in the assumption that once a determined attacker has "puked", he will then be helpless and ready to surrender his life to an angry mob of passengers. Who, of course will be puking just as much as the attacker, and by your reasoning, just as helpless as him. So who he's going to surrender to is a mystery.

The pilot? Who will then have to leave the cockpit to perform the "arrest", thus leaving the controls, and with them his ability to subdue the perp by baning him off the ceiling. I suppose the other pilot could just do it, but he would then be "subduing" the other pilot who went back to accept the guys "surrender" thus leaving the aircraft with ONE pilot and once again, no one for the terrorist to surrender to.

Spend a lot of time thinking this one through, did you?
