I have. I repeat: if one of the pilots is bent on harm, everyone on the plane is out of luck, regardless of TSA smurf harassment of pilots.

Even if both pilots are in the cockpit and conscious, if one of them does something stupid or dangerous a few moments before landing or after takeoff, there wouldn't be time for the other to recover. The pilots have already been issued the most powerful weapon on the plane -- access to the controls. Putting them through the smurf carnival is degrading and ridiculous.
