NO!!!
Haven't you seen the X-Files episode where the display panel in the
elevator makes one character go crazy and kill everybody else in the lift?

Getting a little off-topic here, but since elevators are wired with power
and phone lines, this sounds like a good application for
ethernet-over-power or -over-phone-wires to an AP on the elevator roof.
Useful side effect: throw in a flat-panel display on the elevator wall
and you've got instant news-and-advertising platform, with guaranteed
viewership - I've seen the latter done at some newer office buildings.
You could even customize the content based on the floors requested and
directions, i.e. traffic reports on the way down, stock reports on the
way up, competitive analysis on the way to marketing floors and union
organizing ads if no executive floors are selected...
