I'll answer that. Let us assume that the hijackers manage to sneak gas masks with them. Then they would need oxygen cylinders as well.

Anyways, the hijackers will have limited time before they run out of O2. The plan is to keep the things simple. Everyone, except the pilots, sleeps. The solution so far looks practical to me.

We badly need chemical engineers to enlighten us about any gas which would solve the purpose. Chemical Engineers! We need you!
