    great for use with propane

  7. Re:How can this be? on FBI Alleges Security Researcher Tampered With a Plane's Flight Control Systems · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i would not put it past any bean counter for cost cutting

    the entertainment and flight systems both use similar hardware

    and entertainment system built 5 to 10 years ago for the usage bandwidth of FIVE to TEN YEARS ago will fail left and right with today's demand

    so the entertainment system is a VERY soft target
    once in ????????

  8. " The scheme not only bans participants from probing on-board flight systems but threatens criminal prosecution for any such attempt. "

    but THAT!!! is the easiest way IN!!!!

    Head in the sand will never work out well !!!

    " I also don't understand how a drive can be ruled as evidence if nothing is yet discovered on the hard drive.
