" Reinforced cockpit doors are now in place, but because of engineering
constraints few experts have much faith in their effectiveness. Last
summer, on a bet to test the doors' strength, an overnight cleaning
crew at Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C. rammed a drink cart into
one of the new doors on a United Airlines plane. The door reportedly
broke off its hinges. The doors for European airlines generally provide
even less protection."


Thanks Mort. Scout seems too lazy to provide the cite himself.


Actually, I found it in a post by Cole Firearms in another thread.


Interesting. Scout claims a Jim Yanik posted it. Either way, thanks
again as I saw neither post.
