New It'll (eventually) be better than that....
I suspect a prototype system in the next 5 years that, when a "hijacking" occurs, includes a disabled cockpit, turning flight controls over to an internal computer (a la Predator).

The question is whether or not you'll fly on it.

(The next question is whether or not you'll have any choice.)

Damn...I need to go finish getting my private pilot's license.

With apologies to the now defunct Western Airlines, "It's the only way to fly."

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
