I was only saying that I don’t see anything proving it won’t work
Sure, proving a negative is always difficult.
I agree that this missile problem shouldn’t happen in the first place. But it did happen in the past
Can you provide details on which incident you’re talking about, and why the money-bond is the problem that caused it, rather than simply not having any communications loop to the controllers on the ground or decent identification systems in the missile?
I thought about it a bit more, and while I still think it’s possible in theory, I agree it’s not that necessary.[1]
When a country shoots down a civilian airliner, it’s usually after they repeatedly sent it a warning, but the pilots never heard it. It’s more practical to fix this problem rather than have the money system.
Maybe a better solution would be a type of emergency warning signal that all airplanes can hear, even if they accidentally turned their radio off. There may be a backup receiver or two which is illegal to turn off, and only listens to such warnings. That would make it almost impossible for the pilots to ignore the warnings.

I still think they money system might be useful for preventing automated militaries from waging accidental war, but that’s another story.
