This is rich .. LAX airport shut down for hours because of a PC with a
duff network card. Now I wonder which major contractor has the
contract to set up and run the network at LAX, and how much in damages
and SLA costs he is looking at, when an airport gets shut down from 2
pm to midnight.

Wow, one little article, sooo much FUD. This quote really takes the
cake:
(((Nothing like that *so far,* that is. But why not dwell on the
notion that terrorists can remotely transform the US Customs Service
into a weapon against innocent travellers?)))
Oh noes! The terrerists can kill all the airports by installing dodgy
network cards in a machine!
I wonder if the machine had an RTL8139 card in there? ;)
