Practically impossible to do, cost-wise and from a legal point of view also maybe.
In that case, Lubitz would have had a marshall disguised in cabin crew seated beside him, which would have easily defeated him in any of his ill-conceived designs.
And that marshall should be carefully vetted too, of course…
Until the marshal has a problem. There is no vetting that's 100%. The current solution (another crew member in the cockpit) makes as much sense as just having a pilot and copilot alone in the cockpit (which does make sense).
We're never going to get 100% prevention of this, and certainly if the copilot wanted to commit suicide we couldn't prevent it, but we can at least deny him the opportunity to commit murder in the process
