Post-9/11 security reforms may have enabled Germanwings crash

There's an axiom in national security circles that if you prepare only for the last attack, you will likely be ill-prepared for the next one. The apparently deliberate crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 at the hands of a co-pilot may prove this true once again, as it appears to have been enabled in part by post-9/11 security reforms that made it harder for intruders to gain access to the cockpit


Except in this case it wasn't an intruder trying to enter the flight deck, but a pilot who was presumably trying to stop a deadly, intentional descent into the French Alps
