The Flight Attendants are here primarily for our safety and we should all take care to be attentive to the safety briefing announcements. Some of the spiel however is inane — the fasten the seat belt demo: insert flat metal plate into the buckle to release lift up on the tab of buckle. Now FAA has included a required snippet about the cockpit door. Ladies and Gentlemen may I direct your attention to the center door in the front of the plane… It is the entrance to the flight deck and will remain secured during the flight. It is unlawful for passengers to access this compartment during the flight… Well, even if someone wanted to they might have a rough time as the new doors are Honeycomb Kevlar and Stainless. Still haven’t figured out the purpose of the brief though. Is it because the government is proud of the new barricade system and wants to take credit in the announcement? Is it to tempt / provoke some one to give it their best shot? Go ahead make my day! I dare ya! It could be that the lawyers want to be sure that it’s clear that a messing with the pilots is a no-no and if therefore anybody foolish enough can be prosecuted more easily. Do we really need to be reminded before each flight that the September 11 perpetrators used this very access method to fundamentally change our nation / world as we knew it? What could the reason be?
