Your analogy of your turbo Arrow and DC-3 to security development is well taken.

Your conclusions about the TPM limiting functional is something that I will disagree with. I am an old pilot from many moons ago and I was at one time current in every single engine plane that Piper Aircraft produced. The turbo Arrow was one of my favorites as was the J-3 Cub.

I remember when controlled airports came online. Everyone complained they had to get permission to land. What about the J-3 with no electrical for a radio. They used colored lights for landing clearance. Then planes got faster and more of them, clearance light were phased out and mandatory radio communications at controlled airports was required.

Many predicted the demise of private aviation if radios were required.

Next came the controlled airspace around a few airports. It looked like an inverted wedding cake. How dare the FAA tell me that I can't fly over an airport without permission!!!!

Many predicted the demise of private aviation if we couldn't fly over airports.

They came the little "black boxes" Transponders that squawked our identification. Big brother FAA could watch you. Many predicted the demise of private aviation. Next altitude encoding was added. Big brother FAA knew WHO you were, WHERE you were and HOW high you were!!!!

Many predicted the demise of private aviation.

Today private aviation is thriving. Small planes slide into and out of the system with large commercial planes. The system is fully meshed together.

TPMs will do the same thing for computers. The computers will know who to whom they are talking and will allow the data to be fully meshed together. It you want to play outside the rules they will know who you are and can tell you to get back inline.

Offline(outside of controlled airspace) you can still do anything your heart desires.

Just my comments on a Saturday afternoon.

PS:One Cub I used to fly had a sign posted that only stalls, lazy eights and 60 degree banks were the recommended maneuvers. For any others three things were recommended: 1. Copy of the Lord's prayer, 2. Copy of the 23rth Pslam and 3. A very good parachute!!!
