A twenty year old deranged individual rushes from coach and at his first impact breaks through the cockpit door.
It is now nearly a month since the WTC tragedy. What has been done to protect the cockpit since then? The square root of F-all.
Despite all the political hot air the FAA and the airlines have followed their normal procedures. Talk a lot, do a little. We have been through a dangerous time. With the attack on Afghanistan we enter an even more dangerous phase.
What do we have for protection? The same undertrained security people and a lot of feel good speeches. I only know one other pilot who has seen a sky marshal in the last month!
