They know the only time they can possibly get access to the cockpit is when some one exits or enters. Schedules are routine. Fix the schedules of rest breaks, etc../.......

I have no doubts that the "probes" continue and the enemy is gathering inforamtion for a future opeartion against us.

It also conitues in the interior of the country at national and regional infrastructure sites.

We must let our people be armed on international flights. These two terrorists should have been dropped on this flight...but there was no one with the weapon to do so.

I believe this, that the passengers, upon learning that ME men have taken a flight, will not allow it to continue, IMHO, viza viz Flight 93 type ction.

Well it appears we have an idea where the next attack will come from.

Move along. Nothing to see. Sounds a lot like those "musicians" headed to Vegas a few years ago.

Agree. Crews may have to forego breaks outside of the cockpit, or reevaluate their procedures against being waylaid when entering or leaving the cockpit. We evidently have muslim psychopaths in final stage of training, who are hot to finish Reid's job and take down an aircraft to get to their 72 virgins.

Exactly. Despite how it was portrayed, the professionals know and have taken note and preparations accordingly.

These kinds of stories are a concern but I'm much more worried about MANPADS which have likely already been smuggled in to the US.

If they know the FO, etc. will come out at exactly 2 hours +/- a few minutes for his break, all they have to do is start some diversion in the galley over some stupid coffee or other trash, get the FA's distracted and wait for the door latch to move. The forward galleys should be OFF LIMITS to ALL passengers for a period of time when the FO's can do their business. This is a TRIAL RUN. Expect many more. I have no doubt that this was a PROBE of the defenses..........

Here's hoping no one links to this post in the next 6-18 months in profound retrospect...

Crews can't and won't forgo breaks. Their bladders are just like yours and 8 hours is a little long.

They will keep trying until they succeed. Terrorists love big explosions and the mass deaths of innocents, which is why the airplane will continue to be the weapon of choice for the foreseeable future.

Stay vigilant, America.

Why not use some portable potty for flight crew?
