  2. Install piddle bags in the cockpit (obv. the cheapest part)
  3. Replace the internal door with a refreshment/meal hatch
  4. Install a separate flight crew external door forward of the passenger door

I'd rather pay for an air marshal to spend the duration of the flight in the jumpseat...
Or... just send an FA into the flight deck while the PNF is answering the call of nature, as is already procedure for many airlines
