The surveillance in the US is too good and the penalties are too steep. If you try this, you'd be looking at 20 years in federal prison.
This incident also serves as a counter to the "security theater" argument some make against the TSA.
The TSA catches most bomb, knife, and gun threats and makes the risk of getting caught too large to attempt.
Hijackings used to be common in the US. Not anymore.
