So....how would the TSA act if I brought a parachute as my "carry on luggage"? Huh

Henry Ford.  I believe he automated the assembly line as much as was technically possible for that era.  They had people to run and calibrate the machines as necessary.

Absolutely Dave.....
He was a revolutionary influence, that is my point.
Incrementalism until it become the norm, then its pushed further down that path under the guise of progress.

Let me link those two words, and pay attention to your first thoughts....

Progressive Revolution.

Is it what it is, or what we want it to be/mean?    

Ponder its vast utilization, implication, as a means to direct societal movement.

At the gas station there is a red button on the wall.
Emergency Shutoff...

Considering the obvious fact that electronic stuff Can fail, it seems reasonable to allow the pilot easy and immediate relief from a wrestling match with Suicidal Hal.

Justin,
That used to be true, but it is not quite true any more. It was never true on an Airbus. The very first crash of an Airbus was, in my opinion, caused by the designers. The poor Air France captain who was demonstrating the aircraft tried to "fly" the aircraft just like he had always done. However, the engineers had other ideas and the aircraft ended up crashing into the trees at the end of the runway in spite of the fact that he added power in plenty of time to execute a flyby type of go around. Some members of the press were killed.

Anyway, he ended up being blamed and it was the end of his career. Big money ruled. :'(

OK ,

So , I go to the car dealer and pick out a new car.  Then ask the sales person "Wait a minute, is this one of those Drive-by-wire cars" ?   Or New Bike !

Should it hurt the sales person's feelings when I say " well I don't want it then" ?

Maybe , I'll just keep my old truck ?  and stay OFF the Airplane's

I won't get on a plane. I seriously enjoy flying, but I'm not getting abused by the tsa to get on a plane.
I'd go to jail for bashing someone in the face.

Engineers will always push limits, I think of the early Comet crashes and didn't one of the piston engined Douglas aircraft have some fuel issue which caused planes to catch fire? Having said that, I would prefer an older well established type of aircraft.
