I don't want this to sound like an anti-capitalist rant or anything but isn't it always about the money? It took 9/11 to convince Airlines to start installing reinforced cockpit doors, lets hope it doesn't take a similar incident to convince them to start using these too. Of course, with profits down since fewer are flying I doubt they'll be buying these Glare luggage containers soon anyway.
The problem here is that nobody notices security when it works, only when it fails. The first airline to boast "Air Marshals" armed with guns loaded with GLASER rounds (Air Marshals in the 70s carried them as they were the only rounds found to be airplane safe), Glare luggage containers and a sealed cockpit would probably see passenger levels rise for a while, but once a year or so has passed without incident the extra features will just be seen as expensive extras by both passengers and airlines.
