How about this?

Hundred years ago only takes us back to 1903.
Candid photos from then are not common.
Posed photos from then are much more common.
A big difference.
My housewife/farmer grandmother usually looked much like Oleg's picture when dressed for Sunday.
My touring pianist grandmother looked a bit like that when at home. But was always more formal in hair and dress when in public.
My Mother was born in the 19th century. We do have a fair amount of photos from a hundred years ago. Well....my daughter has them now.

Once common people traveled armed to discourage bandits.
Todays reguations, in some cases, actually encourage bandits
and hijackers
and terriorists

I like the new version, though you might consider substituting "travellers" for "all lawful passengers".

New one is much improved. I had the same feeling as Idaho when I read the captions on the first one.

In relating the past to present, slightly rephrase the 2nd comment and use a different image.
"A century ago, brigands armed with box-cutters had no chance against even a single traveller."
"Today, what chance do 200 travellers have against brigands with box-cutters?"
And then use the image of the aircraft splattered across the ground after the passengers attempted to retake the aircraft without weapons.

Need a high-res picture of a crashed aircraft.

Yes, but it would be nice if the passengers could live to tell about it.

Armed passengers? You guys may very well be right... but I don't think the general public will take this idea seriously, at least not yet.
It was a hard enough battle just to get a select group of pilots armed. Get the public used to armed civilians on the street first via CCW laws. As the predicted "shooting gallery" fails to materialize, then we can start pushing in this direction.
If you do pursue a poster/material on this theme, how about concentrating on flight 93. Ask "who stopped these terrorists?" Not the military, not the air force. It was the passengers.

Simple is as simple does.
Let the viewer complete the message?
I like the latter over the former poster photo layout due to models setting, costume, hair and arms... but whadda I know?
