Military drones analogy? - I don't think so!
In those cases you have dedicated (at least) two-man teams flying 1 drone
each on a specific operation.
In the real-life civil aviation industry, you have thousands of simultaneous
flights "from here to there " controlled by hundreds of ground controllers
in different countries /time zones /cultures /languages, where no single
third-party team is in constant communication with any single aircraft for
the whole of its flight ("handovers", sometimes many times, happen on any
flight) - and you think they could conceivably operate consistent and
reliable systems whereby a pilot says "I need a cr*p, please open the
cockpit door in 30s", and "someone", "somewhere", has to say " OK", and do
that?
And then do it again when the pilot, who is NOT now in the cockpit wants to
get back into the cockpit?
Works no better than the system on the Germanwings flight because the
co-pilot (in that case) is the one who IS in communication with the
"someone", "somewhere", and he/she is the "weak link" in your argument
because he simply needs not to pass on the pilot's request!
Maybe it would be possible in a few years' time when all aircraft are flown
remotely, but then there will be no need for aircrew flying the planes
anyway - and then the emphasis will be on the ground controllers AND their
computer systems. "Terminator, Judgement Day" here we come! L

Those factors may be taken into account. Since is possible to fly and
control military drones in complex manoeuvres in combat conditions, it seems
that reliably opening a door by remote control might not be quite
impossible.
