    WAP... a word that will soon be in the same category as other failed ideas that should have been shot down the instant AOL agreed to endorse it.

    ...If these guys happened to be of Arabic origin (I don't know if they are or aren't and don't care), do you think the FBI would have been all over them like sh*t on a stick by now?

    Since this was reported on ArsTechnica, the story had a focus on the coolness/tech factor, but if the story had been spun by our yellow rag mainstream media, the headline would have been something to the effect of "Hackers Use Airplane to Spy on National Information Infrastructure" or something similar...I can imagine the ramifications then.
