The cost, weight&balance, revenue loss calculations for secure doors may have been done last year when the FAA and airlines were talking about aggressive passengers, the drunks who beat up flight attendants. The airlines probably know this already. The cockpit door doesn't need to be something you'd use to guard gold bullion, just something to prevent people with knives and guns from getting into the cockpit in the time it would take to land the plane, say 30 minutes.

Implementing cockpit doors was a business decision, but now it may be a political decision.
