Actually, the way to prevent hijacking is for the planes to be pilotless robots controlled from the ground with NO radio contact between those controlling the plane and the outside world. Thus, if a hijacker takes a kid and puts a knife to her neck and says, "I'm going to kill this kid if you don't fly this plane to (Iraq or whatever)" the flight attendants could say, "Well, you can do that if you like, but this plane will land in Cleveland as scheduled and there really is no way to change the destination."
