What a great idea!!!
I just had a really great idea, people.
Why not just destroy the planet? A few well-placed nukes and we can take it apart in about 10 minutes 
Be great for the morale of the universe, and we can get rid of all our problems in one go! 
Why didn't I think of this before?

Everytime me and my friend have an argument about things, we get to this solution maybe it's the ideology to go
Use  
writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

Take more than a few though...hurricanes don't obliterate the world yet they are some 150x the strength of an a bomb

Yes, but all that power is only used to mess the atmosphere around. I'm talking about putting nukes into every fault line you can find and seeing what happens

I got a better idea: the flight sticks of the aircraft pilots should be protected by a fingerprint system so that only the two pilots are able to fly it. Sure it would have to be made very reliable.

interesting idea..but what happens if someone else does take over the plane...what does the plane then do?

Yes, thats a problem! there would have to be something like a pilots database with all their fingerprints. So an other registered pilot could go on. But well, i got no better idea how to protect any better at the moment.

I meant what if a terroist takes the controls...does the plane ignore their inputs? Does it continue flying in a straight line?
Hmmm...Building 5 is almost as tall as Canary Wharf...

Weld the door to the cabin shut and make the crew enter the cockpit from the outside of the aircraft.

Yes, only the 2 pilots will be able to operate the aircraft.
No pilot would do voluntarely something that terrible.
But if the terrorists dont know about the system and got other plans than crasin into a building, then this is not a good solution, i admit. Well, was just an idea.

the only alternative would be to send armed security, lets say 2-3

Welding the door is not such a bad idea. Actually, connecting the cockpit door lock to the altimeter such that the door won't open until the altimeter shows 0 would probably work. Presumably, the lock could be attached to a switch that would automatically call FAA/Police/FBI/whoever, if the door was attacked.
You are right, of course, that hijackers could break down the door and/or blow the plane up. But they can blow the plane up anyway.
Much the same system (in theory anyway) is in place in the maximum security prisons. If the prisoners take you hostage you are SOL. There will be no negotiation.
