Well, "guarding access to the cockpit" in general then...

including screening the airline pilots, if necessary...

but, somehow I doubt that the original airline pilots who
took off were the ones doing the flying at the end...

I wonder if the plane in Pennsylvania crashed during
a struggle, and the hijackers never got complete
control of it?

I could see any of these possibilities happening when
airline traffic resumes again:

1) armed guard in front of the cockpit entrance on all flights.
2) removing part of the first-class section, and
erecting a much more substantial barrier between
the pilots and the passengers.
3) loading/unloading of passengers will only happen
at the *rear* of the plane (nowhere near the cockpit).

Actually, if #3 happens, the first-class section itself may be in
the *rear* of the plane in the future...
