You got Jacked!

When being hijacked the United States deals with terrorist about like salt on a slug. If put in a situation as an airline being hijacking, How would you deal with the problem? For Example, " A wonderful day for flying", the captain say's over the intercom. Smash!Bash!Screams!, and ten minutes later, The terrorist have you at gun point at the helm of a jet.
The terrorist yell," Tell your president we will crash the plane into another build unless they release Hobjobdobdiddlibob Muhammad from prison". As the panic sets in, you suddenly realize the situation is in your hands.
Here are somethings to consider, Throughout the ages of war and power, there has always been terrorist, Like being hijacked on a plane. Then why over time have people felt a need not deal with a terrorist? as opposed to trying something.The current policy for the United States even Say's "We do not negotiate with terrorist".If thrown into a situation I bet your now willing to try and strike a deal.
You have to play with terrorist like a chess match, make a sacrifice then capitalize. Capitalize! is'nt that the root of America? Maybe instead of saying we won't deal with terrorism( which will happen either way wheather you do anything or not) Why don't we try things from the diplomacy side of things.
To handle the situation at hand, instead craching into another building uselessly, Tell them we want the safety of the people and give them what they want but, with a little twist.( An espionage approach) Give them the prisoner back with a bomb straped to him, the ol' two negatives make a positive. Now you own the situation and demands. This crazy illusion of a plan would most certainly be better than doing nothing at all.
