In the history of air travel has anybody ever breached a secured airplane cockpit (of any sort?).
Excluding the events of 9/11, how many times have terrorists hijacked an airplane and flown it into a building? All I'm trying to say here is that the sample size is very small. How do we deal with the risk of unlikely but catastrophic occurrences?
To the extent that we're concerned about the security of cockpits, maybe our efforts are best directed towards better cockpit doors instead of strip-search machines.
I agree with this. I think El Al uses a double-door system, for example.
