Yes, true. I agree that that is the most effective part of modern airplane security. I doubt all the crazy TSA stuff has any real impact. But resistance by the passengers seems to be working so far in preventing another 9/11. So, hopefully, the same will extend to spacecraft. Of course, nothing is preventing someone, now or in the future, from buying their own airplane/spaceship and crashing it into something. So it is true that this still doesn’t absolutely assure safety.

See Joe Stack. I recall the media at the time being very careful to not call it a terrorist attack, oddly enough.
Modern security measures like fellow passengers not accepting the line that they’re hostages, instead fighting vigorously.
The air would already have been safe on September 12, if anything had been in the air by then.
