Chapter 1. Note 41.
United flight attendants, unlike those at American, did not carry cockpit keys. Instead, such keys were stowed in the cabin-on Flight 175, in the overhead bin above seats 1A and 1B in first class.

I ask the conspiracy guys to give me chance here and read the post in its ENTIRETY, before coming all out at me. READ, ANALYZE AND TELL ME WERE IM WRONG. May be you convince me as you convice yourself.
What is so complicated about a group of 19,20 well finance people to get access to the US, some of then go to fly school, then get together be able to sneak by boxcutters, hijack 4 planes, and crash them to buildings?
Im going to try to analize those one by one to the best of my abilities:

Would the crew in the cockpit be so deaf they could not determine from which direction a bang was heard, if someone was trying to kick in the cockpit door? They certainly know when the stewards or stewardesses are knocking on the door to bring them coffee, snacks, or breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

So what proof do you have as to how any of those cockpit doors were locked by key code combination, and who would have given alleged hijackers the keycode combination to open any cockpit door? FYI, key code combinations are relatively very new, and it is highly improbably any of the four alleged planes had cockpit doors equipped with that type of sophisticated technology.
This is a proved fact. Just because someone testifies to something does not make that testimony the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Anyone researching court cases can easy detect that in witness testimony, of those witnesses caught lying under oath - committing perjury.
Are you saying someone gave any alleged hijackers keys involuntarily or voluntarily? If so, who?
Key or numpad was a customer option, i guess UAL had key locks on the cockpit doors back then, i dont know about AA.
It really does not make much reasonable safety sense on behalf of the cockpit crew, for the cabin crew to be going around flashing any key to the cockpit to every passenger onboard.
I would surmise the cabin crew supervisor may have a key, would not flash it around, and keys would not be given to every cockpit and cabin crew employee. The pilot and supervisor may well be picking up keys, sign them out, and turning, plus, signing them back in them in at the end of any particular flight. It would be foolish to have a key assigned to every employee boarding any commercial aircraft.
Why don't you cite the rules, concerning keys, of all the airlines since you are so certain of that? The airlines make their own rules as to who has access to cockpit keys and who does not. They also make the rules as to signing them in and out on each flight. Because the same crew normally does not access the same planes on every flight they work.
2.Airline doors were flimsy and could be opened with the same key and before 9/11
pilots warned this was dangerous. They should listen to them. This was not reasonable, when
in the months preceding September 11, 2001, there were 16 cases of people breaking into the
cockpit, most in the U.S., and U.S. aviation had suffered several terrorist attacks on jets by breaking
into the cockpit and killing or injuring the pilots. Before 9/11 pilot associations and unions begged
for better doors and to have the cockpit door keys taken away from flight attendants Source
