For such situation this might be an improvement, but for the other dozen of planes that get hijacked it will only make the situation more dangerous.

If a hijacker has NO access to the cockpit and even if the pilot wanted to turn over the plane, he couldnt, then it would be a deterrent. Why bother hyjacking, if you can get to the pilot.
