flight attendant go in the cockpit when one of the pilots leaves. this is an instructional video believed to be published last year by airbus the maker of the plane. you can see where a flight attendant is trying to punch in the code to enter the cockpit. now, according to the video, it s supposed to be part of a system that allows crew to enter the cockpit if it s locked. the crew are unresponsive. the video says nothing about what to do if someone is preventing you from opening that door. i m joined now by a former federal air marshal. as you hear what the lufthansa ceo is saying, that they don t feel the need right now to refine any of thundershower security their security layers or protocol for leaving only one pilot in the cockpit, do you see
