This would create a secure "vestibule" to make access to the forward lav easier and more secure. Further it could create a defensible "safe room" for FA's if there were bad guys in the main cabin.
EL Al has known this for years. U.S. airlines won't do it because it adds "weight" to the airplane. One Major carrier actually took the spoons off the airplanes in an effort to save weight. You think they'll add another "door" even if its netting?
