I actually knew someone who suggested to FAA in the mid-80s about keeping this type of gas in aircraft to counter terrorist threats and FAA came back and said that this was not a safe solution. A leak in the masks and the pilots would bring down the aircraft by accident. But if the pilot put the plane on auto-pilot and then hit the gas button...failsafe operation of course...then this would likely work. The question is how long is this gas effective?

The question is how long is valium gas effective?

Pretty well, I'd say. It worked in the '92 AND '96 presidential elections...
