You lost me here. A team of suicidal bombers was on every 9/11 plane. In those cases, they were using the planes as their bombs; today, knowing they're thwarted in that aspect of terrorism and also knowing that these liquid/plastique explosives are notoriously hard to get to go "boom" in a plane, I can easily imagine a team of suicidal bombers on a single plane.
While the FAMs are busy with decoy #1, his two partners in coach work up the real bombs.
Or...if bomber #1's bomb doesn't work just right, bombers #2 and #3 are backup.
To not be able to imagine scenarios and work to plug them is about as stupid as stupid can be.
