I think the least disputed issue here is that plane security should be boosted up. Cabin doors should be bulletproof and have peepholes and pilots armed with beanbag ammo shotguns or something else non-hull piercing.

Remote flying capacity sounds like a damn good idea. Arguing that it could be used against. Well....consider the damage a takedown/over of one of the major control towers could have done, planes crashing, planes crashing into each other etc would have been absolute uncontrollable chaos. Stations on the ground are far easier to protect and re-control.

Personally I think it should be rebuilt. Bigger.
