FAA Pushes Air Traffic Control Systems Into Service

An anonymous reader points us to this AP story about the FAA forcing new air traffic control systems into service, over the objections of technicians and air traffic controllers. The Transportation Department's Inspector General notes that many critical bugs remain unfixed. We reviewed a book that discussed the lessons to be learned from software engineering projects; and we had a recent story about Great Britain having all sorts of problems with their new air traffic control software.

Better yet, the next time terrorists try, they probably won't be able to do it with this new buggy terrorist-proof software! It's brilliant!
