twitterLetter: Cockpits should be more secure
Saturday, Sept. 15, 2001 | 7:41 a.m.
Why can't we have a ground-to-ground cockpit with the only access to the cabin being on the ground? With no access to the pilots except on the ground, would this cut down on hijackings? Some taxicabs have something like that now.
The pilots could get food from a double door slot and have a restroom in the cabin. There could be a locker for carry-on, or overhead baggage, and the flight attendants would be in charge of retrieval of any necessary objects from bags. The flight attendants would have a description of the article and handle it first, deciding on its necessity and safety.
