Clowns. Its not about arming / dis-arming the pilot's that concerns me as much as the inane concept of a sealed and secured flight deck.
The good senator's advice on keeping the flight deck door locked is purely for public perception and nothing to do with real security.
It's time for real discussion and real solutions (however this may have to include pilots and cabin crew), and by the look of the pol'tics that have been involved thus far, we will continue to be left out of the process.
