"So pilots don't get to eat or drink coffee on extended flights?"

Why don't you find out how the Israeli airlines deal with this problem. I'm assuming they're provided with enough food and drink within the cockpit to take care of their needs so that the cockpit door isn't open. Why bar a door to prevent intrusion if you're going to open the door from the inside to get food and possibly leave the cockpit vulnerable?

I was just being a wise ass. Hard to believe here in the land of the free, that we can't deal with this problem in a better way. If enough sheep would stop flying, call it flexing muscle (Consumers can do that), then maybe our gubmint would start concentrating their efforts on the roots of 9/11. They haven't used their guns to our heads to force us to fly, yet. The clown in this incident was easily dealt with and it didn't cost us billions to subdue him, did it? Does this mean we're gonna bomb Uraguay? Blackbird.
