There is at least one more airline who employs 2
secret agents on every flight to ensure the plane is not hijecked.

Israel's El-Al
airlines found a solution to this when they were founded,
well over 30
years ago. Every flight carries a "Flight Marshall" who is
armed with
a very large gun.
El-Al is notably one of the few world airlines that has
never been
hijacked, nor had any losses of
life.
