Is this really about making things safer, or is this about exploiting
tragedy to advance an agenda?


While we pilots shouldn't depend on "safety nets", in my opinion, ATC is
our safety net for when we make mistakes.


ATC's job is separation. If they catch something, that's dandy. As such, if
a passenger catches something, that's dandy, too.
