A similar system was described in either 'The Engineer' or 'Profesional Engineering' (can't remember which one) soon after 9/11. I don' think it would be foolproof and would probably be much too difficult and complex to ever work properly. Also any potential hijacker with sufficient knowledge of elctronics could overide or disable the system.
