More good news -

"(CNN)A cybersecurity consultant told the FBI he hacked into computer systems aboard airliners up to 20 times and managed to control an aircraft engine during a flight, according to federal court documents."

I saw this on CNN and don't believe a word of it. From what the airline has said, there were no deviations from normal flight operations and the entertainment system he supposedly hacked into is not connected to the control system of the aircraft.

He may have hacked into the entertainment system but had no control of the aircraft.

People make all sorts of claims about all sorts of things. Elvis sightings, aliens, etc.

I'd believe the Amtrak train over airliners

Dinner last night turned to a conversation of this.
Turned out two of the people there are pilots.
Both said this is not possible.
