I agree that this is a problem, which must be resolved.

So, then are you advocating the isolation of the CCW from the  
passengers?

I would suggest it would be simpler to remove the access from the  
cockpit to the cabin. This would require a redesign of aircraft, to  
add an extra external door for the pilots, isolated toilets and an  
extra seat for the flight attendant, specifically there for their  
needs. (keep your hands to yourself, not those needs -- coffee, tee,  
food and drink, whatever ...)
