On the face of it, almost all of the precautions to keep passsengers from highjacking an airplane are unnecessary—all it takes is a reasonably sturdy locked door between pilots and passengers. One possible response is that highjackers might persuade pilots to open such a door by threatening to kill off crew and passengers one by one until they do. In the post 9/11 world I’m not sure that would work—but suppose it would.

(1) It would seem that one could weld the cockpit door shut. Pilots could use a camping toilet if needed. Seems an easy fix to me.
(2) Armed pilots used to be an acceptable solution. Why not now?
(3) Leave it to the airlines to figure out. Get the government out of all the things that it should NOT be into. Shut the TSA, FAA, and any lots of others.
