Do we trust the pilots not to unlock the door in that situation? "Open the door or the passengers die!"?

    Not the TSA in that case, either.

  Yes we do, because everyone will die anyways. The reason why 9/11 was possible was because it had never happened. They could have added zero security measures, not even locking the cockpit door, and 9/11 still would probably not happen again. The reason is because before 9/11 the common wisdom was to let the hijackers do what they want. After 9/11 the common wisdom is the plane is going to be used to fly into a building. But, locking the door is still a good common sense extra security measure.

    I mean yes, that's the _logic_. I guess what I'm asking is, is our expectation of pilots to follow that logic sound? Emotion over Logic, that sort of thing.

    9/11 has to be the shortest duration of a terrorist gambit in history, it didn't even last the duration of the attack, for those on Flight 93 learned that the rules of the game had changed and responded accordingly.
