Secondary Cockpit Barriers Finally Become Mandatory On Commercial Aircraft More Than 20 Years After 9/11
President Joe Biden has ‘fixed’ one of the most tragic flaws that led to the darkest day in American aviation, 9/11. This week, the president signed into law the “FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024,” which now requires a secondary cockpit barrier to be installed on all commercial aircraft. (www.airguide.info) More...

All it would take is an unruly passenger threatening a cabin attendant to use the code to enter the door to make it happen.
It is not about what has happened in the past. Rather, it is a preventative measure for other possible situations. (That, by the way, is why we have vaccines - to prevent issues before they happen.)

There were at a minimum 387 other people who had a hand in this. This President didn't "fix" anything.
I guess his signature carries more weight?
He probably did not realize how import it was... Or he didn't know what he was signing!
I think the direction indicated for a secondary barrier doesn’t necessarily mean extra doors etc. Possibly electronic, secondary locking mechanisms, but whatever is designed it can’t impede emergency egress pr emergency response. It will be interesting to see what the engineers come up with.
What do you have against Mr. Biden? Please be specific with citations for any claims you make.
Would you prefer the Tangerine Man to be in charge and have him dismiss the bill because 'it would be too expensive to accomplish'?

Trump's negatives do not make Biden good.
Biden is a Joke... Trump would be 10,000 Times better and that may be an understatement. He has done nothing right and requires handlers to keep him out of trouble and the handlers are almost as bad as he is....
You ask for specifics and then resort to 3rd-grade name-calling like "Tangerine Man"?
No, you lost all credibility and don't deserve any rational answers.
Do better; or, at least try.
