If you can't access the cockpit, what are you going to do with either of those? You can kill a passenger, but you can already go out and kill someone before anybody reacts. Most people choose not to do that for some reason.



Adding on to this, you've effectively just moved the chokepoint from the plane to the security queue itself.


1. I can blow up a plane and kill 300 people in the air plus more on the ground

2. If there is no scanners run by the TSA I can bring in tools to open the cockpit door. Now I can redo 9/11.
