They can give up on taking a commercial plane. Ain't gonna happen. Perhaps a poorly guarded cargo plane, or a smaller private plane. Maybe a 18 wheeler.

Don't count too heavily on passengers and crew defending an airplane. There are other ways the terrorists could take control, such as putting everyone else to sleep or poison gas or something we haven't thought of yet. It's still scary out there.

I agree. But in this case the "cargo" airport and MSP are one in the same.

The Pilots are in a cabin and they have a separate breathing system. I don't see any way to commandeer a commercial airline full of passengers again.

If the terrorists had accomplices on the ground who may have been able to place boxcutters on an airplane, what makes us so sure that hole has been plugged?
