Agreed. Eventually, a pilot may succeed in doing something tragic. How? One pilot goes to the lav, FA stays on the flight deck per procedures. Other pilot snaps neck of unsuspecting FA, barricades door, and it's all over before the first pilot is done shaking it. Could be a crazy. Could be an al-Qaeda convert/sympathizer. The good news is that, like you point out, these events are very rare. But as long as planes are flown by humans, there's some risk.As scary as these are, it is important to keep in mind how truly rare they have been.
