Again, we're talking about passengers. Every pilot carries a flashlight. We know that and don't take them (at least not here). If the pilot wants to kill everyone, they don't need a flashlight to do it. Flashlights are easy to find in the pilots bag, their usually right next to the bottle of Jim Beam. (kidding)
