You would be far better off having the pilots taking the plane on a roller coaster type ride--anyone standing would be tossed about.
Why not install a software patch that would lock the plane into autopilot until the pilots (using a security code) determine it safe enough to resume normal flight operations?</font>
This was suggested on local radio by an engineer. Although he suggested that the autopilot disable code be sent by radio frequency (that changes daily) from ATC.
