Have stewardesses run through a routine on terrorists in cabin prior
to each takeoff like they do with the rest of the emergency
procedures.


Hmmmm.


I flew a couple weeks ago, and Continental has no such announced terrorist
routine.


Yes, that was 'BJ's' point

Or was that hypothetical?


Yes, hypothetical, but IMO BJ is absolutely right. The only
flaw in the 'terrorist-proof cockpit door' suggestion is the
Egyptair scenario: how do you defense against a pilot who
goes berserk, if there are two? "Have three" solves the problem
but at an added expense for personnel the airlines would never
go for.
