Abolish the TSA and install Personal Anti-hijack Devices.

The Transportation Security Authority spends about 82% of its total budget, approximately $5.5 billion dollars on Aviation Security and Federal Air Marshal Program.

This is my alternative to the enhanced screenings and armed air marshals.

With a push of a button from the cockpit, the cabin will be depressurized, the masks will drop, as well as these Personal Anti-hijack Devices. I don't think anyone can successfully hijack a depressurized plane with a bunch of angry and scared passengers armed with box cutters.

And in a regular airline emergency, the box cutters can be used to cut stuck seat-belts, and if one is unfortunate enough to end up in Lost, fight polar bears and unseen monsters with the box cutters.
