Just some FYI from a news report the other day on this...

According to the report, the bullets they would use are not 'normal' bullets. Enough to stop a hijacker (i.e. - rubber bullets, but not sure exactly) but not enough to rip through a person and/or the plane; therefore little to no danger of that happening. If that makes you feel any better about it.
