Don't know which way is better in terms of security, but over here in Japan there are no visits to the cockpit at all. We close the door before boarding begins and we exit only after all passengers have exit.
An FFDO told me a story last week about a little Johnny who was allowed to see inside the cockpit while the aircraft was on the ground. The child was accompanied by his dad who appeared to be of middle eastern descent.
While the captain and FO where showing little Johnny the dials and switches dad who was behind the FO's seat tripped the door circuit breaker. The captain saw him do this and did not say anything until they left the cockpit. The captain then got the authorities and had him removed from the plane.
Is this another step to 911 again, you would need to have specialized knowledge of where the door circuit breaker was and which one to trip.
Be more vigilant of little Johnny and Susie when they come into the cockpit
heard the same story from a FAM. he was on a NW 757 and the pilots did not notice it but the FAM sitting in the plane watched the whole thing. After they left the cockpit he told the FA and they told the captain and they had pulled the breaker. The fam did not know if anything was done just noticed the dad messing around with the overhead panel.
they pulled the family off of the flight but did not know anything about the outcome.
