It seems to be a perfectly reasonable query to me

If the guys with the M.E. names are already asking these questions and coming to the attention of the FBI (who just wouldn't know how to look into it further), then it would be responsible to, as the parliamentarians say "put the question". Only in this way will security be assured. But then again one wouldn't want to end up like these guys:

American Airlines harassing pilots for speaking out, pilots' union says

So Pegasus 77, as an A320 pilot maybe you should conscionably pose the question to your superiors, as it would seem from your reply that there may well be something to be concerned about. The reason why the Terrorists were so successful on 11 Sep 01 was simply that the regulators and legislators were wilfully blinkered in that they decided to take risks. With the benefit of hindsight they now desperately wish that they hadn't. However with hindsight there's also nothing so obvious as the statement that not looking into security vulnerabilities is almost a death-wish in itself.
