... a 'security researcher' was escorted off a flight (
https://securityledger.com/2015/04/h...earchers-gear/) for making statements (tweets) that he could hack into his flight's cockpit systems.
The consensus in the s/w community is that this guy is some sort of idiot. Making jokes about this sort of thing isn't the same as actually doing it. And his remarks may not add up to more than geek d
k-swinging.
He has raised some interesting points about aircraft network security in the past as a researcher. But seeing as how he might never be let near one again, his expertise is a moot point.
