Why in hell don’t planes fly with GPS tuned on? Government can dial up location and GPS data for anyone with a cell phone…. but not for an airplane? Car manufacturers, new cars now track your every move with GPS location data and your car can tattle on you for speeding or call 911 for you in an accident… but not for airplanes… no we are keeping those in the stone age. Can some one invent a big red button on the dash of an airplane that when pushed it starts sending we are about to crash messages and GPS data for the airplane until it lands or goes down? Or, are there some kind of privacy concerns that prevent that?
