Actually, Schneier says that reinforced cockpit doors are a good idea. A quote:
"I've said there are two things - reinforcing the cockpit doors, and convincing passengers they have to fight back. Everything else has been a red herring."

- grandalf 17y agoWell they are an OK idea... but the question to ask is whether they are likely to have a significant impact on safety. My guess is that the impact is slim, which is OK since they are cheap and easy to implement. But note that it took way longer to implement the cockpit doors than it did to nationalize airport security and start making people wait on 3 hour lines. Also note that the GAO was able to get bombs through security at most major airports without doing anything particularly sophisticated.
