I can't imagine a system where I could not figure out a way to defeat it. From what I've seen proposed, the simplest way would be to turn off the navigational system. If that is somehow hard wired, then how about turn off the generators? A pilot would/should always be able to turn things off, very helpful when they malfunction or catch fire.

The use of the term "force field" in describing this highly unlikely aircraft navigation software concept as some sort of repellant shield generator the notion of which exists only within the realm of science fiction may have great PR buzz but is highly misleading and metaphorically asymmetrical.
Mr. Spock would NOT approve.

This only applies over no-fly zones, so flight paths wouldn't be effected. If I was a pilot I'd rather have control taken away from me rather than fly straight into a building.

Don't see pilots' giving up command any time soon. We've had EGPWS systems screaming "Terrain, terrain! Pull Up!" on the fly-by-wire systems for years now. Oddly that phrase is often the last thing recorded on the CVR. Go figure.
