"But, I expect to see more gov’t control and regulations proposed as a “solution” to the problem."

Will periodic govt. psych tests be mandatory for ALL transportation operators?

Stupid idiots. There is a simple tech solution ...

Provide two unlock codes for the door — one known only to the pilots and one known to the pilots and the cabin crew. The difference obviously being that the pilot code always works, whereas the cabin crew code can be vetoed from inside the cockpit. Sounds like a matter of a few lines of code.

The idea behind people in the cockpit being able to override security codes is to prevent someone in the aircraft cabin (pilot or cabin crew) from punching in the code under duress (i.e. torture or threats to passengers).

The issue there is pilots on long haul flights, where two are sleeping in the main cabin/crew rest areas.

The terrorist gets a pilot on rest cycle to open the door.

That’s what they will tell you.
