Flightplan
So I saw Flightplan, starring Jodie Foster and Boromir, Steward-Prince of Gondor. And boy am I glad I did! It's certainly opened my eyes as to how easy it is for hijackers to take control of a commercial flight, even in these post 9-11 days (ie 9-12+).
The villain's plan? Well, like all good plans, it's surprisingly simple:
(Warning: the following paragraph contains spoilers and precious few sentence breaks)
The villain (an air marshall - never trusted those guys) wants to hold a plane to ransom to get some money, but to get away with this he needs to frame somebody else, so he therefore simply finds somebody who has previously worked on the plane so they know how to get into the plane's coffin hold (which is where he's smuggled the bomb) so that when he goes down to arrest them he can also retrieve the aforementioned bomb. But to encourage the framee to do this, he needs to kill somebody close to them and have them fly the body home in a coffin, BUT in order to get them to frantically search around in the coffin hold in the first place, he needs them to look for a missing child, but he doesn't want the airline staff to help find the child too much because they might, in fact, find the child, so he's going to make it appear the child was also killed in the same incident that killed the framee's loved one, by, say, bribing hospital and morgue officials and then also distract everybody when the child is brought on board first so nobody can confirm her existence.
Obvious, really.
Wake up, international airlines. Close this loophole before somebody gets hurt!
Begone,
