Jules, <<<The killer application which I suggest is to prevent killing.... To allow us in the United States, and throughout the World, to travel and move about with the sense of security that we had prior to September 11. Some of the technology needed to allow such an application is already available, but it needs the Telecom and Technology Industry's leaders to centrally coordinate efforts>>>

Your suggestions provoke a lot of thought. I hope you have success with it. Please provide us with an update to see how you are doing.

As for me, I'm not technical enough to help very much, but I do have an active imagination. It seems to me that since you can deliver a plane, take off and land without pilot intervention (I think they can even do this with Boeing 747's), what would it take through the use of GPS and direct communications with the pilot, for air traffic controllers to over-ride pilot commands (when it is established that an aircraft has been hi-jacked) and have appropriate personnel take over controls of the aircraft remotely.

This does not seem like it requires any technology that is not in place - only an implementation of existing technology.

This may be completely naive on my part, bu can anyone clue me in on this as to feasibility?

Regards,

Mary
