As distroted as our civil court system has becaome i thni its a good thing. Airlines have had them for eyars to their betterment on safety and causes. Thso woukld have made it much easier in the recent case involving toyota and saved alot of money and time.I am sure trial lawyers will not like it tho and push it as government spying.I see it has pubic safety and protection against scammers.
