Yep, they'll try. Some people will try anything. But the game's different now. You had a virtual guarantee of success up until 9/11 plane #3. After that, the slightest error and you're more likely to go down in history as the loser guy who got stomped.
Yep, organisations like HAMAS who used to take over planes to exert political pressure must be pissed at Al Queada.
