I really find this hard to believe. The doors to cockpits on commercial flights within North America are closed, locked, and alarmed. Private flights, sure, all bets are off, but I have been on 46 flights in the last two years, most of which were up front and with a good view of the cockpit door, and I have NEVER so much as even seen the door opened for a split second while in flight.
There was one flight which was an international flight on a 747-400 and what they did was when the pilot had to come out to use the bathroom, they had a locking metal gate that closed off the hallway to the rest of the plane which allowed the pilot to get from the opened cockpit door to the bathroom without anybody else having access to that area, if that makes sense.
