Re: Analysis from a JHU CS Prof

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.
