The other thing that is being forgotten in this haste to apply the lable, "pussy" is that prior to September 11th, hijackers didn't fly planes into buildings.
The practice when confronted by a hijacker was to do as they say and noone will get hurt. The plane would land in some neutral territory (Cuba or Palestine) and usually noone would get hurt.
The one plane where they did fight back (if in fact this is what happened) did so because they found out that two other planes had already crashed into the WTC.
If a group tried to take a plane today, I have no question in my mind that people would risk injury or death to stop the hijack (short of the hijacker carrying a gun).
That said, in all likelihood, the plane would be shot down before it got anywhere near it's destination.
