After 9/11 we turned flight decks into impregnable fortresses.  And with good reason.

After MH370 and now 4U9525...

IMO it's time to reconsider that fortification.

There's no really simple answer...

is there?

The answer doesn't need to be simple.  But there does need to be some other thinking applied IMO.

A weighing of the risks.  Sure, secure the flight deck but not to the point where access is granted solely from within.   Authorised personnel ought be able to access from without.  And yes, I realise the security hole that enables.

But passengers need to be also protected from lone-rogue flight crew.

I don't disagree that something should be done.

Put the third flight crew member back on the deck...like the old days...require two to be in the cockpit at all times.

Still doesn't preclude the possibility of something happening.

Nothing can do that.  But the current status quo just cannot be allowed to continue.

They should just require that everybody behave.

Surely that will do it

The airlines have already announced a measure to stop the lone actor.

Some airlines.

Its a known risk.  And yet we have to get to this before action is taken  [bang]

Well other airlines from other countries (like Germany  [laugh]) aren't as uptight.
laissez les bon temps rouler
And all. Ive actually seen that phrase painted right on an airplane.

Down under is a big place. You should spend more time driving and less time flying. Plus you will see much more on the ground, and give something else a chance to kill you instead of some pesky rouge pilot.

Trying to discuss issues here.

You seem to want to engage in a battle of wits.

And yet come unarmed for the encounter  :-*
