He asked why and I gave 3 reasons. I didn’t say they were good reasons, or that I agree.
Leading up to 9/11 hijackings were mostly for ransom anyway. But just because hijackings were decreasing doesn’t mean that wasn’t a reason they were implemented.
Its hard for me to conceive of a hijacking today with some of the changes that have happened in the airline industry. But that could be a reason that a no fly list might continue to exist.
