The other thing that people were doing was buying two round trip tickets and selling one-half of each to essentially create a cheap trip flight without the restrictions of normal cheap flights, like having to stay over a Saturday night, or flying from A to B to C, for far less than the two one-way flights would have cost. The FAA ID requirement meant that this technique of beating the airline fare structure restrictions was essentially dead.

Korean Air Lines has also never had a hijacking IIRC. They have trained security personnel on every flight... and the only plane they've lost as I recall was one shot down by the Russians.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
