New airliners will soon be required to have a second barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it has finalized a rule requiring extra security for cockpits of newly-manufactured commercial aircraft.

Lawmakers are considering whether to require the retrofitting of secondary barriers on airliners currently flying as part of a broad FAA policy bill. The largest union representing pilots said the rule comes “after years of needless delay.
