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?

I'm sure that isn't what was meant. The ground control would operate only in exactly the Germanwings emergency case - lockout of an officer due to the other officer being mentally disturbed or having, for example, fainted and fallen on the switch.

It does require the locked-out officer to be able to send a suitable Mayday, but that's not so difficult.

Even so, I think my proposal for lockout being invoked only by both officers is simpler and possibly more reliable.
