FBI Says Researcher Hacked Plane Mid Flight

Previously, and better:

Yeah. Let's "back off from [] research on avionics". Maybe if we don't talk about it it'll magically all go away, and planes will secure themselves.

Apparently another case of clueless FBI agents afraid of what they do not understand.

Without researchers poking at possible vulnerabilities, we won't know about them until somebody uses them to do actual damage.

Admittedly the tweet was a big misguided, but please call me back when the FBI catches somebody not based on a public tweet.

I believe a read it was on a simulator on the Ars Technica forums. Silly headline -.-
