(Actually, "::wifi" is super confusing, I'd expect that to be a led that blinks when wifi is active.) Well... "airplane" is quite confusing. I'd we use "rfkill" for disabling radios, and I believe we should stick with that. But small problem might be polarity. You may need both "::rfkill" and "::not-rfkill".
