DO-178B Level A stuff is pretty robust.

The FBI just doesn't want anyone tampering with ANYTHING to do with commercial aviation. Seems like WIRED could have done some better reporting by digging into Boeing and Airbus to see if those systems even communicate in any way (which I highly doubt) Of course good journalism doesn't always sell as many magazines as sensationally imbellished journalism does. You can always back peddle AFTER you've made your money. 2 cents Sean On Saturday, May 16, 2015, Rory Conaway <[email protected]> wrote: http://www.wired.com/2015/05/feds-say-banned-researcher-commandeered-plane/ Rory Conaway • Triad Wireless • CEO 4226 S. 37th Street • Phoenix • AZ 85040 602-426-0542 [email protected] www.triadwireless.net “That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be.” – P.C.
