IIRC, the "shoe bomber" was taken under control by passengers (as have been a few rowdy drunks since 9/11). I'd suspect that there would be many able and willing people to put up a fight against a hijacker or hijackers with scissors or maybe even a gun.

BTW, now that I think of it... I can't recall hearing any tales of Air Marshalls getting any situations under control since their placement on some US flights.
