physically capable of piloting a Cessna.
Ever taken a good look at the people at
the DMV office?

You would never get a takeoff clearance.

All citizens would have to wear hard hats
to avoid the debris falling from the sky.

Collision avoidance would be impossible,
even with computers, because the of the
computational complexity of the problem.

Millions of pilots and their passengers would
die.

There would have to be an army of air traffic
controllers. Sure, I'd trust my life to see the automated
air traffic controller running on Microsoft Windows.

Norad would go crazy trying to track that many
objects.

Regarding enforcement actions, with 25 million
people, it would be like the wild west.
It seems that people are becoming less and
less law-abiding; people are running red lights
without even thinking about it these days.
There would have to be an army of these
"Administrative Law Judges" to hear all the cases.
