More than a MORAL dilema. Neutralizing Hijackers in SR would not be as
easy as today. Even relatively legal cyber could allow them to
communicate with outside compatriots, and if such communications were
blocked, much nastier countermeasures would be likely, both on the plane
and elsewhere, as potential terrorist groups tend to be larger, and
better organized / funded.
I'm thinking the hi-jacking would be just an "attention getting
manuever" and barganing chip, the real threat being much worse. Hell,
they arel ikely tokill everone just as a "proof of intention" statement,
instead of bargaining. Even taking magical control of the hijackers
might not be enough, if his compatriots KNEW you took control.
