What happened

Two recent attempts to breach cockpits on Frontier Airlines and United Airlines flights have renewed concern over U.S. aviation security. Experts say reinforced cockpit doors and crew training make such breaches extremely difficult, though vulnerabilities remain when pilots must open the door during flight. The FAA can impose heavy fines, and no one has breached a commercial aircraft cockpit in the United States since September 11.
