Absolutely! For example, those thousands of flight plans filed every day by airlines across the globe, not to mention private flights, should be done manually the old fashioned way, with a paper form and stopping by your local FAA office where a human keys them into the ATC computer. Oh wait, we closed all of those offices when we moved all of those functions to the Internet. I guess we'll just have to re-open them.
yeah! jobs for americans! actually, the interesting questions raised are along the lines of "what is your contingency plan?" ... the big EMP is coming.
Heck, removing all of these functions from the Internet will create jobs, too, right? And no one would mind paying for all of this out of their airline tickets, it should only increase fares by a third or so.
