I believe the problems requiring flight crew access to the passenger cabin can be resolved by other means. A lot can be done and I am sure you will be hearing more ideas from other people on the list and from talking heads on the news. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Owen DeLong" <owen () delong sj ca us> To: "Bill Larson" <blarson () compu net> Cc: "John Hall" <j.hall () f5 com>; <nanog () merit edu> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 6:20 PM Subject: Re: Analysis from a JHU CS Prof
This would be a mistake. There are a number of possible mechanical scenarios in which the pilot needs physical access to the cabin in order to inspect various systems of the airplane to make a determination about the proper procedures. Mechanical problems are still significantly more likely than this form of terrorist attack. Owen Bill Larson wrote:Actually there should be an external entrance for the cockpit crew. The cockpit crew should be escorted to the cockpit by armed security
officers.
The door between the cockpit and the passenger cabin should be totally removed. This would prevent the luring of the flight crew to the
passenger
cabin and prevent passenger access to the cockpit all together. By doing this, you would have no more suicide bombings by hijackers. This does
not
prevent a crazy flight crewmember wanting to suicide killing the other crewmembers. However, nothing will protect against that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hall" <j.hall () f5 com>Bullet proof bulkhead separating the pilot's compartment from the

that is locked/unlocked externally by the ground crew. Everyone knows the pilot *can't* open the door even if he wanted to... JMH Vadim Antonov wrote:Locked bulletproof door to the cockpit. Survelliance cameras in the passenger compartments. That all which was needed to foil the
attack.
