FAA Using Webcams to Aid Alaskan Pilots

Posted by chrisd on from the no-faa-wishlists dept.

Isthistakenyet? writes "CNN is running a story about a series of FAA webcams designed to give fliers in Alaska pictures of current weather conditions around the state. I can even get current conditions near where I used to live - check out the 'Clear Day Image' :)" Hopefully the slashdotting won't keep a legit pilot from checking conditions.

    This can *easily* be construed as a DOS attack.

    By stating "Hopefully the slashdotting won't keep a legit pilot from checking" the poster is admitting foreknowledge of possibile DOS.

    This story should be pulled.

    "Hopefully" readers will have more sense than the poster and not view this webcam.
