Boeing is due to ship the new 787 Dreamliner jet with on-board Internet access, but the FAA is worried that the company hasn't done enough to keep the 'planes systems secure.

Should have used OSX

They'll be fine as long as they avoid McAfee

Knowing that modern flight-computers on Boeings can bypass pilot controls, this freaks me out. Imagine wtc done by script-kiddies.

Well, could be a major step forward for flight simulators lmao

Imagine someone sitting in the plane with a joystick and a laptop controlling the plane! Priceless, unless you are on board and it just happens to be a terrorist...

Imagine WTC was done by people that couldn’t even fly a Cessna eh, perhaps no need to let the imagination run all to wild by including any so called script-kiddies with joysticks now.

no thanks. im a system analyst myself, and know that if theres a way, people will find it.

boeing need to make the wireless system completely somehow, 100.00% separated from the flight/navigation system. period. "places that they are (touching)" is not acceptable.

until then, i will always view this as a flaw.

Until they resolved that by full physical separation, I will not take a dreamliner.

And everyone should refuse to board this kind of plane.

chrisb2e9 · 9th Jan 2008, 15:39

wow, for all the thought that went into making a plane like this. I just cant think of anything else to say.

No one is questioning the flaw in the design, I’m sure.

DXR_13KE · 10th Jan 2008, 14:54

this cant be real...... no one is that stupid.... why the hell would they let the 2 systems inter-communicate?

Bluephoenix · 10th Jan 2008, 20:29

given how intractable boeing is, something will have to happen before anything will be done about it.
