Ok be prepared. Wierd question. But could really strong magnets interfere with a heavily computerized plane like an A320 (or really any modern plane). I know magnets will ruin a PC, but I was thinking an airliner would be a lot more secure.

Actually magnetized material is considered by IATA as being "Dangerous Goods" and thus must be shipped according to certain rules and regulations governing packaging and maximum limits.Have a look at my photos, including Kai Tak crazy landings!http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=460

Thanks for the input. Another question (prepare, because truthfully I know jack shit about the different types of monitors (LCD, CTR, etc). Don't a lot of older glass cockpits (MD-11, 767, 757's) have CRT monitors, meaning magnets would screw with the color and all that (like they would with a computer monitor, etc)?

Yes. Magnets would screw with the CRT monitor. But it would have to be a pretty frikin' big magnet.
