Posters and moderators please use caution, as innocent questions could be masking less than friendly intentions.

I think you all severely underestimate what the "Bad Guys" already know.
Many First Class or Business Class passengers have first hand knowledge simply by observing what goes on in plain view.
For others it is very easy to Google for information and the basics of flight deck security is readily available online.
SKYbrary - Flight Deck Security
Emergency Flight Deck Access. Most security systems have the facility for emergency access to the flight deck; such systems have safeguards built in to allow the flight crew to prevent access, for example by building in delays to the door opening such that the flight crew, if not incapcitated, can overide the lock release.
