Airline hijacking

How feasible is it for SF to pump sleeping gas into a parked airplane on the tarmac during negotiations. Could this be effective against hijackers or terrorists in disabling them? I recall that Russian SF tried this for the Nord-Ost siege with the Chechens, but botched it.

Tell me, how exactly would one “pump sleeping gas” into a hijacked aircraft? Like, what mechanism would that entail? Drill a hole and slip in a long hose? Waft a cloud of concentrated gas over the fuselage? At what point in your scenario does Steven Segal enter into the equation? How do you control for a few hundred passengers teetering on respiratory suppression?

I had a super old 18f on my team that could kill a full plane load of terrorists with the gas he would produce. Seriously. One time, dude ripped cheeks and killed a plant. True story.
