TSORon has been asked this question multiple times when he has tried to make similar claims, but he tends to just run & hide.

Please also refrain from the use of terms such as 'cupcake', 'sport', et al in your answers.
9/11 was successful because the hijackers knew once aboard, there would be no resistance from the flight crew. Period. Once all airlines changed their "don't resist policy" - and they have - a 9/11 style hijacking would be near impossible.

I've asked Bart and other TSA boosters to comment on this, and funny, they never seem to respond.
