Bad idea as far as I'm concerned. Not only could the system go stupid and crash the plane but just watch what would happen if terrorists or a hostile foreign government managed to figure out to manipulate the system.
Reminds me of the book Skyhook.

Reminds me of the book Skyhook. I'm a bit of a geek, so I have visions of The Wrath of Khan.

Even worse, if Terrorists get a WMD on the plane and then purposely have the government bring the plane home.
