After the increase in plane hijacking in the recent period, an Egyptian driver created a new method to prevent hijacking. When a passenger attempts to hijack a plane, the pilot would press a button producing anesthetic gas. The gas would induce sleep in the cabin, so the pilot can reach the nearest airport and inform security forces. Saber Fawzy Hassan, the inventor, said that the idea came from his imagination: Hassan used it in an introduction to a political thriller he wrote. He told Youm7 that he registered the invention at the Scientific Research Academy. Hassan said Khaled Hassan Azazy, his manager, helped him turn his idea into a registered invention. Hassan said Azazy encouraged him in all ways until he successfully executed the idea and registered it in 144 countries. Hassan said the best way to use his invention would be when the pilot sees any unusual movement from passengers, he would release the gas. He added that using his invention depends on separating the air circulation systems of the pilot's cabin and the passenger's cabin. It would also use a small box with gas tubes, a fan, and screens covering the passengers' movement. Hassan stressed that this invention would help prevent hijacking and save passengers with no losses for planes.
