The
flight deck is closed from the inside, but they are usually quite happy to
open
it. I was on the flight deck for take off and landing for my honeymoon and
it is
quite common for kids to ask and be let onto the flight deck. Of course the
door
is also opened for the flight crew to be given meals and it is not unusual
for
pilot and crew to come out of the cabin for a walk about, to go to the
toilet or
to investigate some 'situation'. My proposal is that all of this opening of
the
door is prevented, in fact I would like to see the sort of 'personnel
transfer
units' used in highly secure warehouses. For example during my time at the
Post
Office we would frequently visit 'cash centres', these buildings hold
millions
in used notes, to get into them you have to enter through a revolving door
that
can only take one person at a time. Such a device can not be 'jammed open'
or
'forced' and yet allows recognised individuals to pass through it. Let's
face
it, with the sort of security that business routinely put around money it
would
have been impossible for these planes to have been taken over. It pisses me
off
that such measures are not adopted, probably because of cost and
convenience,
when the risks are to people not cash.
