The windows are surprisingly large, too. I have no doubt that a small person
could get through one, especially if his seatbelt is not properly fastened.
However, you are not going to lose a whole planeload of passengers this way.
Given a choice, I would shoot a hijacker with the off chance of killing an
innocent bystander rather than allow the hijacker to drive the plane into a
crowded building.
