In fairness I don't think you can legislate for every eventuality, what if pilot and co pilot agreed to bring down a plane, or the pilot coshed the co pilot, this third person entering the cockpit happens during some long haul flights at any rate, nothing that is put in place will be fool proof, but events like this are thankfully rare!

On a separate issue I think it is probably incorrect to say the passengers wouldn't have been aware until impact those in the front of the plane would be aware of the pilot trying to get back into the cockpit
