Common guys get a bit of perspective.

World car accident related deaths run at about 1,3 million per year.
World commercial aviation accident deaths at under 500 per year.

Should we wish to spend some money to reduce the number of accidental deaths launching lots more satelites to stream live video from all aircaft at all times would be pretty low down the list. Even if we wished to concentrate in aviation the money would be better spent on recruitment, training and fatigue avoidance.

Legislating in the heat of the moment based on the latest media frenzy is rarely a good idea.
