True about the BA 111 event some time back now, but in times since then am I not right in saying that when in the F/D , the Flight crew are strapped in at all times, at least by the lap belt if nothing else?

Also, I think it's true to say that that poor Captain was involved in a highly unusual event which we have not seen the like of since.

There have been more attempted / successful
intrusions on to the Flight deck since then .

Agree with whippersnapper - in these days of hi-tech matireals and devices a door could be developed that would be effective,secure,and approved by the pilots it is designed to protect (and the other *** feet of airliner behind them)
