> The flight crew reported that the cockpit door had opened during the depressurization event. In a revision to the Flight Crew Operations Manual, issued on January 15, 2024, Boeing confirmed that the door functioned as designed.

Interesting for terrorists. Cause a rapid decompression, and get easy access to the cockpit.

Causing rapid decompression is quite hard. Opening a normal door is very difficult during flight except at very low altitudes.

If they cause a rapid decompression they incapacitate themselves and won't be able to use the cockpit.

Also how do you cause a rapid decompression without a gun of some kind?

[mihaaly]

They may go then and blow the whole thing up good insted of such half measures. Sufficiently rapid decompressions may not that reliable and predictable to carry out so I can control the plane afterward easy kind of feats.

yeah, this is a significant hole in the locked cockpit door plan.
