Air Bypass Valve for CAI??

Hey you guys, I have a question for those who have a CAI on their Si. Do you think it is possible for a company to come up with an air bypass valve for an Si's CAI intake? I'm sure if one came out, those on the fence about whether to get a SRI or a CAI would probably fall on the CAI side. With the bypasss valve, hydrolock would be eliminated. For the people who do not know what it is well...here is the info on the AEM bypass valve courtesy of king motorsports.

"AEM’s patented air bypass valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock in the unlikely event the filter of your AEM Cold Air induction system becomes submerged in water. The valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe and shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged, rerouting air through its external diaphragm to keep water out and air flowing in.The AEM Air bypass valve is for use only on AEM Cold Air induction systems, and is not for use on forced induction vehicles. Pending C.A.R.B. exemption."
