But of course, this is WAY too costly to implement solely for rare incidence... Maybe a mix of Xello's "skynet" with the control centre being based inside some highly secure military base. |

Wait. You plan. You screw up. And it is someone else's fault?

Frankly, I don't think there is much you can do to further ensure the safety of the plane and all those on board. Even removing the human factor altogether and make the plane fully automated will probably carry some risk or another, as there is no such thing as 100% foolproof. Quote:

How is your hypothetical flight attendant going to single-handedly overpower 9 people at the same time with their bare hands? Or even 2 or 3? Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2015-03-28 at 16:21. |

In my opinion this is all a pretty mood topic.
If you are going to fly, you ultimately have to put your trust in the pilots. Trust that he is bound by the rules of society, morality or simply self preservation. This is the basis for all human cooperation. We can not get around this, or society will cease function. For some reason planes get a lot of special attention, and get a treatment that you would never widen to other fields of transportation, or life in general. But think about it: Your bus or taxi driver may decide to sweer into oncoming traffic. That is pretty sure to kill you. You eat food, which went through the hands of lots of people. It may have been poisened by any of them! How do you know the guy you just walked past on the street will not stab you in the back? We have to trust people. We can try to minimize the risks in case of an outside attack (such as terrorists), but we can not safely guard against threats from the inside like this for every possible scenario, or everything would come to a standstill. |

External overrides are a problem, because it allows people who are not inside the plane, to control the plane.
This poses a much greater danger than that of a possibly rough pilot. At least with the current setup of pilot autonomity, the culprit has to go down with the plane, which is usually a pretty good deterrance. Placing a remote control on a plane, no matter the kind of security placed on the link, would be (in my opinion as an engineer) irresponsible. There is no unbreakable security system. |

But OTOH, if something can be done cheaply to improve safety, of planes or buses or food or streets, it bears thinking about. |

Just waited three hours in downpour and driving rain to watch LKY's procession.
Whatever one's views of his policies, we still gathered to be there for him At the end of the day, simple humanity trumps all considerations. Oyasumi...Mr Lee. Fair winds on your next journey
