Said in jest but a highly salient question.

I understand the perceived risk with the single door is that opportunistic terrorists could, suitably seated, rush the door in the moments when it may be opened. I know placing the food trolley across the aisle at the galley seems awfully ad-hoc, but as a hindrance to the attack pushing it aside or climbing over it will create a lot of commotion, and it probably doubles or triples the reaction time available to get the secure door closed again. Maybe that is all that is needed?

A second locking door worries me. It just seems ripe for unforeseen consequences.
