i think a lot of people here are missing the point. We don't need to carry explosives, knives, box-cutters on board to gain access to the FD. The numpties in the airports don't seem to understand this. When i borad the a/c i turn er...left towards the flight deck as that is where the controls were last time i looked.
As far as airport security goes if you pay peanuts you get monkeys...
