Like NY Madman said (but in a different context), "You watch too many movies."

Then again, if they only have box cutters, there is always enough heroism in passengers to stop the threat, like they did in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11. In that situation, a sealed and protected cockpit would have brought that flight home.
In each and every situation on 9/11, if the cockpit door was secure, and the pilots self-aware enough to not try opening the door until on the tarmac, every flight that day would have landed safely . . .
