Not in the above case (which perhaps I shouldn't have clipped) because
the idea was the there is no door between the cockpit and cabin, so the
highjackers can't take the stick, but instead have to pass orders up to
the pilot.  
 
Not sure if totally sealing off the cockpit is a good idea, but I was just
pointing out a flaw in the argument against it.
