That's assuming the other geniuses in the command structure don't enforce the 'it's not cleared on the release to service so you can't use it/have it on in the air' as they did with the Squirrel and hand held devices at DHFS.
That regulation exists for a reason. If it had been enforced, Chinook ZD576 would not have been flying on 2/6/94. It isn't a big task to clear such a device, but you have to do it in each aircraft type, which will take time.
