After the first few airline highjackings they were and many flights has sky marshals
aboard. After
the highjackings died down, the marshals were removed on most flights as an economy
measure, and
the airlines started leaving the cabin doors were left open and unlocked as a
convenience that the
airlines justified by claiming that it was a safety measure designed to evacuate the
flight crew
if the airliner went down.
