"If you lose that communication link as the result of that turbulence or for any other reason, then you have an aircraft that is not in control and can in fact crash into something on the ground or another aircraft," said Dillingham
Great, so we could see a repeat of companies selling radar, then selling radar detectors, then selling new radar the old detectors can't see, then selling new radar detectors and so on
Except it will be Smugglars/cartels buying frequency jammers ...
