> There are not. You cannot solve a social problem with a technical solution. If the data exists, it can and likely will be used. Except in reality we use often use technical solution to solve social problems. Or rather technical capabiltiy gives us the means to approach a social problem in a different way. > unless you value privacy at zero The assumption that privacy is 100% impossible if something is recorded and stored is simply categorically false. > only look at these recordings as a technical problem I didn't do that. I suggested that the FAA, the Unions, the Airlines and the manufactures sit together and come up with a solution of what the exact data access policies are. > Under most circumstances when it's needed this system has functioned exactly as designed. And yet when going threw the history of air incidents, there are lots of cases where this isn't the case. Most isn't good enough. > You read about the failures because they are the exception. Sure and a server crashing is the exception, and yet somehow most of use still run 2 server if we want things to work continuously. The argument 'mostly its fine, its just occasionally that a couple 100 people die and we don't know why' just doesn't work for me. Yes in most cases its not that dramatic, but it would still be very useful. > . Believing that CVRs as-designed fail under "most circumstances" would be a lack of critical thought to me. I was limiting my scope to this statement. Fair.
