I would hope that those guards are smart enough to know that it is a Very Bad Idea to fire a gun in a plane in midflight... But how likely was it for those prisoners to escape? When you are restrained in such a way that you can not even move your limbs (and hooded so you can not see anything), only a second Houdini might be able to escape -- and even that only within the first hour or so of being restrained. After a while, your limbs turn so numb that it may take a long time before you can use them again. Experiment: ask someone to restrain you in a chair in such a way that you can not move your limbs, and tell that person to not release you for 20 hours. For extra effect, have yourself blindfolded as well. I would be interested to hear how you felt after your release 20 hours later.
