Suicidal hijackers are NOT worried about death, but they are worried about their plot being foiled. Airport security is tighter than it used to be, so they don’t want to risk their operation being stopped before they even get on the plane.
Better to come up with a different plan, with less risk of discovery. There are plenty of crowded places to bomb or shoot up.
I’ve seen those lines winding, and thought that if a suicide bomber wanted to make a big impact, all he’d have to do is wait until he’s in the middle of the crowd, and detonate his bomb. He’d kill hundreds of people, and close a major airport, without ever having to pass through security.
I think they’ve just stopped hijackings, because airports are a pain in the ass, and there are so many other equally horrific options.

Yep, the simplest crime is the most likely. That’s just people
