Question

And the evidence that the JAA is indeed blocking the adoption of secure flight compartment doors is...? The designs that I've had a chance to review so far are either pretty useless at keeping unauthorised people out of the flight compartment, or are they pose significant risks to safe normal operations. Perhaps the JAA (and other) regulatory authorities are simply waiting for an effective design that does not reduce airworthiness and safety?

Knee-jerk reactions seldom result in satisfactory solutions. Why don't we just wait until Friday and lock all Mr. bin Laden's terrorist chappies into their Mosques? That would be just as sensible as most of the "Katy-bar" bodge jobs being inflicted on US registered aircraft.
