I don't think that's likely to happen. Given 9/11 I'd imagine the next person to try to threaten people with a knife on a plane is likely to get stomped. Sure, 1 or 2 people may get hurt or killed, but I can't see that would stop the rest of the passengers and crew if they think that there's a chance they're going to be used as a missile.
