The Atlantic: Can the FAA Get Rid of Air Traffic Controllers? is a little "OMG computers will take our jobs!" hysterical:

I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced of anything -- except that we are playing with fire. Just remember, these guys aren't making a "bet" on your mortgage. They're betting with your life. If this thing goes south it's going to hurt a little more than losing half your 401k.

but I'm linking to it because it's got a good list of the various failed air traffic control automation systems.
