Actually there should be an external entrance for the cockpit crew. The cockpit crew should be escorted to the cockpit by armed security officers. The door between the cockpit and the passenger cabin should be totally removed. This would prevent the luring of the flight crew to the passenger cabin and prevent passenger access to the cockpit all together. By doing this, you would have no more suicide bombings by hijackers. This does not prevent a crazy flight crewmember wanting to suicide killing the other crewmembers. However, nothing will protect against that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hall" <j.hall@f5.com>
Bullet proof bulkhead separating the pilot's compartment from the cabin that is locked/unlocked externally by the ground crew. Everyone knows the pilot *can't* open the door even if he wanted to...

I think it's time to ask why this isn't the standard procedure?
