1. An aircraft emergency warning system comprising:
- a wireless transmitter camouflaged as personal effects, said wireless transmitter capable of transmitting an alarm signal;
a transmitter switch electrically connected to said wireless transmitter;
a transmitter counter circuit electrically connected to said transmitter switch, said transmitter counter circuit electrically connected to said wireless transmitter, said transmitter counter circuit capable of triggering said wireless transmitter to transmit said alarm signal only after said transmitter switch has been activated a predetermined number of times for precluding accidental transmission of said alarm signal;
a cockpit alarm control system capable of receiving said transmitted alarm signal, said cockpit alarm control system capable of outputting an activation signal;
a microprocessor circuit electrically connected to cockpit alarm control system;
a receiver electrically connected to said microprocessor circuit;
a non-volatile memory electrically connected to said microprocessor circuit;
an audio alert electrically connected to said microprocessor circuit;
a visual alert electrically connected to said microprocessor circuit;
an alarm location display electrically connected to said microprocessor circuit, said alarm location display capable of displaying the generalized location of said alarm signal within the aircraft cabin;
an aircraft surveillance system electrically connected to said cockpit alarm control system, said aircraft surveillance system capable of responding to said activation signal;
a surveillance controller electrically connected to said cockpit alarm control system, said surveillance controller electrically connected to said aircraft surveillance system;
a plurality of video cameras electrically connected to said surveillance controller, said video cameras connected to said aircraft cabin interior;
a video display electrically connected to said surveillance controller;
a plurality of microphones electrically connected to said surveillance controller, said microphones connected to said aircraft cabin interior; and
an audio output electrically connected to said surveillance controller.
