Essentially US airlines' conception of in flight safety is primarily a toilet obsession. people trying to use the toilet in a different cabin (which I don't like people doing but still) will be seen as a major safety risk, and FAs will build a credible replica of the Berlin Wall using food trolleys every time a pilot wants to pee or chat with them in the front galley or whatever.
