Right, just wait for the idiots to play it in their current DVD player and then return it because they thought it would "give them excellent picture and sound quality" through yellow, red, and white RCA cables.
Couldn't this system make hijacking more likely? Say terrorists take over a plane. Knowing they don't need them, the terrorists kill the pilots. The remote system turns on, and the terrorists say "control, take us to *insert Middle Eastern or African country here* or we start killing hostages every 10 minutes until you turn to heading 180 or what have you... maybe the developers should look into being able to control the displays in planes, but then the terrorists could also carry compasses and maps... it just doesn't sound like a very good idea to me.
p.s. -hey terrorists, i have just trademarked that idea so you can't use it.
