Which statement best describes airline hijackings?

• A. They are very rare.
• B. They still occur.
• C. Security has eliminated hijackings.
• D. They always end in surrender.

Answer: (B)

Understanding this topic: aviation security measures have dramatically reduced hijackings but have not eliminated them. The best statement reflects reality: hijackings still occur, though they are rare and the outcomes are heavily shaped by rapid response, screening, cockpit doors, and trained crews. Over time, security changes after past incidents have altered how these events unfold, often preventing catastrophe. The other options imply absolute outcomes that aren’t accurate—either that hijackings no longer happen, or that they always end in surrender.
