I found out some interesting things about Swiss security measures both 
on the old Swissair and the new Swiss Airlines.

First, the new company has installed bulletproof cockpit doors. This was 
in response to the new USA requirements. Also, Swiss has installed video 
cameras in the passenger cabin. They did this on their own.

Second, sky police ride in the planes now. Also, since the 1970s, there 
has been a "Tiger" unit in CH. The Tigers are air police made up of 
rotations of policemen and women from various police departments in CH 
who ride the planes. This continues but has been in existence since some 
planes were hijacked by Palestinian sympathizers years ago.
