Survival Lessons to be learned from the Victims (long)

[downside]

The idea isn't just to stop the terrorists from getting into the cockpit. It's also to stop the pilots from getting out. As strange as that may seem, imagine a hijacker with a gun to the head of a woman. It is in the pilots best interest to land the plane and get help from authorities, not to save the woman.

So, if there is a locked door that the pilot can open on will, the plan fails. Most people would open the door to save that one person in trouble, and not think about what could happen if the enemy gets into the cockpit. The trick is to not give the pilot the option.

Just like how clerks cannot open the safe in the gas station.
